Siblings Chloe Love and William Miranda, two kids trying to make a difference in their Bushwick community, had their fifth annual Lemonade and Cake Stand this past weekend on Saturday, September 18, at Dodworth Street between Bushwick Avenue and Broadway. They were able to raise $5,677, and 100 percent of the proceeds will go towards winter survival kits for people experiencing homelessness. 

What started as two children selling lemonade in front of their home in 2017 now resembles a block party with a cotton candy machine, carnival games, music and dancing. However, the purpose of the lemonade stand — to provide those without a home with basic necessary items — has remained the same, according to Chloe. 

“We’ve been making kits for the homeless since year one,” Chloe told Bushwick Daily. “They’re the people that need more than we do.”
