The families from The Goddard School located in Herndon supported their children in learning about their first business, a lemonade stand to raise funds for LINK Against Hunger, a nonprofit local charity that helps underprivileged school age children in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties obtain food and much needed school supplies. Prior to operating their lemonade stand, the children learned business concepts regarding customer service, profit/loss, and pricing. The children collected $230 in proceeds and collected school supplies as well. In addition, The Goddard School in Herndon matched the proceeds, for a total of $460 in donations to LINK Against Hunger.
The children donated the proceeds to the President of LINK Against Hunger, Lisa Lombardozzi. When meeting little entrepreneurs, Lombardozzi was very impressed with the children’s dedication and effort to assist other children in need.
