Chesapeake, Va. (WAVY) — In August, the Caldwell siblings made headlines after their lemonade stand earnings were stolen. Following the theft, they received overwhelming support from the community once their lemonade stand reopened and a 19-year-old man has since been arrested in connection to the robbery.
Now, Rebecca and Joshua Caldwell are paying it forward. On Saturday, they gave back by selling hot chocolate to raise money for residents in North Carolina impacted by Hurricane Helene. They told 10 On Your Side they just want those in need to know that people do still care.
With a jar already filled to the brim with cash, they’re continuing to accept donations via CashApp and Venmo. The family is also in partnership with Operation Blessing to help collect more financial donations.
If you’d like to donate blankets or clothing, the Caldwell family encourages you to bring it over before the end of Monday, Nov. 25, to their residence at 1064 Bells Mill Road in Chesapeake.
