Six-year-old twins Hudson and Ella Harkness of Cleveland may be young, but they’re already making a big difference in their community — one cup of lemonade at a time.
The children will be serving up lemonade and hot dogs on Saturday, July 5, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with all proceeds going directly to support local veterans through the Cleveland VFW.
The lemonade stand will be set up at 709 S. Washington Ave., Cleveland.
Hudson and Ella are the children of Pct. 6 Constable Zack Harkness and District Attorney Jennifer Bergman. The stand is sponsored by the Harkness and Bergman families, both of whom have strong ties to the veteran community.
“Jennifer and I are proud lifetime members of the Cleveland VFW,” said Constable Harkness, who also serves in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve. “We want to do our part to support such a great organization that gives back to the community and takes care of our veterans. It’s also important to us that our kids grow up understanding the value of service and the importance of standing behind those who served.”
In its second year, the twins’ lemonade stand is on the track to becoming a summer tradition in Cleveland, drawing neighbors and passersby who want to support a good cause.
