Kids donate lemonade stand profits to food bank

A trio of caring kids have donated the profits of their lemonade stand business to their local food bank.

The Utah Food Bank posted a photo of the note that accompanied the donation on its Facebook page.

Via Facebook:

Dear Utah Food Bank,

I wanted to contribute the money I made from my lemonade stand to help feed the hungry.

Sincerely,

Aidan (8)
Sofia (8)
Zach (6)

The letter was accompanied by a check for $36.50, according to a report from the Salt Lake Tribune.

Ginette Bott, Chief Marketing Officer of the Utah Food Bank, issued her congratulations in a statement she shared with the Upbeat. We are always so thrilled when children recognize that they have the ability to help people in need. It is very important that all family members work together to understand how they can help in the fight against hunger. We hope the kids can turn their lemonade stand into a full-time summer business venture to help kids in Utah. Thanks and congratulations to these young entrepreneurs."
