John Vihstadt with Bridges to Independence kids at the June 30 lemonade stand.
Through July 28, Arlington residents can get their lemonade fix while helping homeless youth and families.
Bridges to Independence, a local nonprofit that teaches at-risk youth life skills like financial literacy, will set up kid-run lemonade stands around Arlington all month, with profits from the beverages benefiting a charity chosen by the children involved — Homeward Trails Animal Rescue. Funding will also help support a summer field trip for the kids.
The first stand opened June 30 at Pete's New Haven Style APizza, 3017 Clarendon Blvd., featuring John Vihstadt — a member of the Arlington County Board — as a guest lemonade pourer.
