(MIRROR INDY) — Coburn Place, a local domestic violence agency, will host lemonade stands to raise money for child survivors of domestic violence.
Coburn Place hopes to raise $25,000 in donations from the lemonade stands. The funds will help children in its program with back-to-school expenses, said Tracy Clark, director of support services at Coburn Place. That includes field trip fees, sports equipment and prom dresses.
“We have all experienced going back to school, getting new shoes, getting new supplies, and a lot of us experience that no problem,” Clark said. “ But there are a lot of children in our program due to financial abuse, that don’t have that same experience.”
