CEO & Founder 

Hey Guys,

My name is Shannon Parkhurst, and as CEO and founder, I am writing on behalf of Lemon Aide Project. Our organization was founded on the mission to provide relief for the poor, distressed, and underprivileged through fundraising and distributing aid to indigent recipients who request funds for temporary emergency assistance.

At Lemon Aide Project, we work diligently to help continue financial sustainability in our community, and California as a whole. Helping those in dire need situations to get back on their feet and encouraging independence and sustainability will always be our passion. We are adamant about helping people who are working hard and putting in the effort to help themselves, which is why we have implemented strict rules and regulations in our verification process of each individual case. We fully verify every situation before distributing any funds and ensure that we are not just putting a band aid over a continuous need. We wish to prevent homelessness and improve the health of individuals and families who have been struck with recent hardship by providing a range of culturally sensitive and easily accessible social services.

We, at Lemon Aide Project, strive to be individual. What makes us unique and sets us apart from any other non-profit is the community project that hits close to home for a large portion of not just our members, but our state. California has been struggling due to a massive environmental crisis; wildfires. To keep the fire potential at ease, rolling blackouts are being put in place to keep the community deemed safe. While we are encouraged that preventative action is being taken, we have seen firsthand the negative impact that multi-day power outages can have on those affected. We wish to help those who may have lost food and who are not prepared for being without power and possible gas/water for multiple days. Even with these preventative measures being taken, wildfires still occur and disaster can strike with little to no warning. We have implemented a fund that is passionately worked on and driven by true hardship. Our very own Vice President lost her home unexpectedly in the Tubbs fire, while others among the board were evacuated. She feels extremely grateful that she and her family made it out safely but knows the pain and struggle when that comes along with losing everything and starting over with absolutely nothing. We are all dedicated in making a large impact on victims of both wildfires, and public safety power shut offs.

If you choose to donate to our charity, know that it goes directly to somebody in dire need. We are a

fully certified 501c3 nonprofit. All donations are fully tax exempt.

Those choosing to donate can also follow their personal funds and we will directly show you who you are helping and why.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our company. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
