Lemonaid | Robin Hood

Selling lemonaid is a great way for families to have fun while raising money to support the best poverty-fighting programs in New York City.

Over the years, our Lemonaid program has raised more than one million dollars, one refreshing glass at a time.

How it Works

Grab some markers and poster board and explain how you, together with Robin Hood, are fighting poverty in NYC. For the tastiest lemonade, stir up one of our easy recipes! And, don’t forget the ice!

Woo your neighbors by offering free lemonade! Then kindly ask for a donation of their choice.

Make it clear that you feel passionate about fighting poverty. Get prepared to answer some basic questions about Robin Hood or those living in poverty in NYC.

Enjoy lots of lemonade with your friends and neighbors. Nothing is more memorable than a great afternoon with your family!

Let us know how it goes! Send an email to lemonaid@robinhood.org, along with any photos of your stand. Please mail in the funds you raise via check, payable to Robin Hood. THANK YOU!
