Special to The Truth<\/p>\n
At Mom\u2019s House, a new school year means so much more than new school supplies and clothes. \u00a0A new school year represents a new beginning, new hope and new opportunities to make dreams come true; dreams of a brighter future for the young moms and their children. \u00a0On Thursday, August 12, the Mom\u2019s House preschoolers and former Mom\u2019s House preschool graduates will host their very own Lemonade Stand, from 4:00 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. at 2505 Franklin Avenue.<\/p>\n
In addition to the Mom\u2019s House Lemonade Stand, event sponsors have been invited to create their own custom, decorated stands to help the young families serve the community. Young mothers who are current and former clients will also volunteer their time. To ensure safety and ease-of-access at the event, Franklin Avenue will be closed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an opportunity for our children to display their communication and leadership skills,\u201d said Christina Rodriguez, Mom\u2019s House Executive Director. \u201cEarly learning is critical to children, especially those born into poverty, and we work hard to ensure each child gets the chance to develop these foundational skills, which is another layer of our program,\u201d she said. \u201cOur hope is that our community will take a few minutes to stop by, boost the children\u2019s confidence and get a cold glass of lemonade!\u201d<\/p>\n
The staff expressed their gratitude to the following sponsors: Knight Insurance Group, The Mannik & Smith Group, Lucas County Sheriff\u2019s Department, Toledo Fire and Rescue Department, Fowl and Fodder, UPS, Waterford Bank, N.A.<\/p>\n
All profits from Lemons to Lemonade will go toward early childhood education programs.<\/p>\n
