Last summer my boys had a free lemonade stand. The only requirement was that you had to smile to get a cup of lemonade. Though they did not make much money (some people gave money anyways)- they made alot of people happy! It made my boys feel good about doing something nice for the neighbors.

Thanks so much for the great article on kids helping others. If you or your readers would like to learn more about the value of families doing community service work together, I invite you to visit http://www.doinggoodtogether.org. There are even volunteer opportunities families can do right at their own kitchen table! Thanks again for spreading the word about the powerful benefits of family volunteering.

Jaci, you are awesome! I love this piece and the practical info you share. I tried to get my 6 year old interested in having a Barak-Cocoa-Bama stand this winter–he could not have been less interested. Finding something they can really get into, like food or a clean beach is a much better idea.
