About the project

Since 2018, the young ladies of Sweet n Sassy have been hosting a lemonade stand. They took a break because of Covid in 2020 and in 2021. The ladies use proceeds from the lemonade stand to assist charities in the community. The first year that they hosted the lemonade stand, the proceeds went to an elderly lady who had just experienced an electrical house fire the previous day. Since then, the young ladies have donated to summer programs, teacher's for their classroom school supplies, children of a young man who was murdered senselessly and back to school supplies. This year, the young ladies are now ages 13, 14 and 16 have expanded their offering to lemonade, sweet treats and garage sale items. Members of the community faithfully support the young ladies.

The Steps

1. We will obtain the gender and sizes of children in need beginning August 1st, 2024. 

2. We will select a quality vendor for uniform purchase and place the order by August 3rd, 2024. 

3. Once received, we will distribute the uniforms to the children on or before August 9th, 2024.

4. We will survey the families we assisted about how well we met their needs as well as obtain testimonials if possible about the impact of our project by August 16th, 2024.

5.  We will do a SWOT analysis of the project to plan for next year on August 23rd, 2024.

Why we‘re doing it

The Sweet & Sassy young ladies have found joy in being a blessing to others including their peers. As they age, they have dedicated their lives to serving others. This year, they decided to help with uninforms because they have witnessed first hand their peers not having the appropriate clothing for school. A number of school supply drives have popped up over the years but few address the need for school uniforms because of the expense involved. Sweet & Sassy young ladies  want to help fulfill that need restoring confidence in the students that they will assist. Confident students learn better.
