N.C. Sisters Sell Lemonade, Raise Thousands to Pay Lunch Debt
The Lexington, North Carolina sisters sell lemonade to raise money to pay off the school lunch debt for their entire district. So far, Hailey, 14, and Hannah, 11, have raised thousands to settle the debts at 18 of the 36 schools in the district, but they’re eager to pay off the full amount of over $41,000.
Their efforts began in 2016, when the girls worked to raise money to donate to the hospice center that cared for their late grandfather. Next, they raised more than $200 and made care packages for homeless members of their community. “When you think about how much people are suffering and don’t have food and don’t have the things they need, it makes you feel bad,” Hannah says. “It makes us feel happy that we’re helping people in need.”“It’s been a really big feat to take it all on,” she tells PEOPLE. “I never in a million years thought that we would be able to, or even come close to what we’ve done. It’s pretty incredible.”
