DALLAS — It’s the age-old way to make money: selling lemonade and baked goods on a hot summer day.
For a group of North Texas girls, they saw it as a way to help their local law enforcement community in a time of great need.
According to Fox 4, the girls have raised close to $5,000 at their lemonade stand — where they sold drinks, cookies, and brownies — and through online fundraising. All proceeds will be donated to the families of the officers killed in Thursday’s attack in Dallas.
“At first it was just a lemonade stand and then what happened to the police in downtown Dallas made me realize that families out there were in need of money,” Landry Nelon, one of the girls who organized the stand, told the publication.
St. Andrew United Methodist Church promised to match the first $1,000 the girls brought in.
