For Kids.
The Lemon-Aid Project has been running for over 30 years — born from a simple idea that kids have the power to change their community. What started as a sibling project in 1994 is now one of Tulsa's most beloved Labor Day Weekend traditions.
Research backs what we've always believed: kids who volunteer are twice as likely to volunteer as adults — and become the most generous givers in times of greatest need. A Lemon-Aid stand isn't just a fundraiser. It's a habit that sticks for life.

Let's TalkWhat people are saying
The Community Speaks
We all had an incredible time. I have never been so proud of my child. She took it so seriously and worked hard all day. The experience was everything I had hoped. Thank you all so much for doing this.
It was our first year being a part of the Lemon-Aid Project and my daughter and I had the best time! It was amazing to see her enjoy giving back and helping out — and we can't wait for next year!
The generous support from this year's Lemon-Aid Project will provide 220 nights of safe and stable housing and services for a family living at Lindsey House.
