JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NJ – Two Jackson students are running a lemonade stand to help raise money to send to victims of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. The war which has claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions of Ukrainians rages on months after the ‘special operation’ began.
The Jackson Police Department stumbled upon the stand this week.
“While on patrol today our officers spotted a lemonade stand in the Jackson Gardens development and stopped briefly to support the local fundraiser. Sarah and Emmalyn are selling lemonade to raise funds which will be donated to the people of Ukraine,” the department said in a statement today. “Our officers are very proud of the work Sarah and Emmalyn are doing to support those in need. Sarah and Emmalyn operated the stand in 90 degree heat but would not be deterred in accomplishing their mission to raise funds. Thank you Sarah and Emmalyn for the cold lemonade.”
