We Rise By Lifting Each Other
Host Michelle Beck, will be searching out and speaking with those who give back and provide opportunities or goods to those in need . . . just because. Helping others fills your soul. Everyone benefits when goodness is shared. There will be times in life when you give less and need more. If you help someone, they may help someone else and the circle keeps going. Whether it be the sharing of information, time, or physical things, the giver will be richer for it.
We Rise By Lifting Each Other
Project Lemonade - Inspiring Self-Esteem from Kindergarten through College
Host Michelle Beck welcomes Lindsay McDonnell, Executive Director of Project Lemonade, based in Portland, Oregon.
Since 2012, Project Lemonade has provided high-quality services to meet the needs of the foster youth community. Our programming now includes the flagship Project Lemonade Store, internships, programs for teens aging out of care, and funding opportunities that allow youth to pursue their dreams.
Lindsay McDonnell is a passionate nonprofit leader who began her involvement with Project Lemonade as a volunteer in 2016. Lindsay holds a BS in Systems Engineering from the University of Virginia and Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management from Portland State University. Lindsay is also involved with the foster youth community as a CASA volunteer.
For today's "Happy Hour" we are highlighting lemonade, of course!
“From the beginning, we've really grounded ourselves in meeting the needs and centering foster youth and having a very high quality selection in that these are clothes that anyone in the community would feel comfortable bringing their own child to, that these children are not less than other youth and they deserve the same access to the same things." – Lindsay McDonnell, Executive Director.
