MUNCIE, IN—Isaiah 117 House, a nonprofit dedicated to changing the way foster care begins, is holding their annual Lemonade Stand Weekend on July 17-19, 2026, across Delaware County , Indiana.
Lemonade Stand Weekend is a nationwide tradition that began in 2017 with just a few lemonade stands in Elizabethton, Tennessee. Each year, communities across the country host stands to raise awareness and support for children awaiting foster care placement, with all proceeds staying local to benefit their community’s Isaiah 117 House.
During Lemonade Stand Weekend, there will be 20+ stands hosted locally to support our local Isaiah 117 House.
“Lemonade Stand Weekend is a simple but powerful way for our community to come together and make a difference for children entering foster care,” said Ronda Paulson, founder and executive director of Isaiah 117 House. “Every cup of lemonade represents hope and support for children during a difficult transition. We invite everyone to participate, whether by hosting a stand, visiting one, or simply helping us spread the word.”
To find a lemonade stand near you, follow Isaiah 117 House Delaware County on Facebook or Instagram or contact us at delawarelemonade@isaiah117house.com.
About Isaiah 117 House
Isaiah 117 House is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that provides physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster care placement. Currently, when a child is removed in a county without an Isaiah 117 House, the child must wait in the child welfare services office. The child is often dirty, hungry, tired, scared and unable to bring any personal possessions. Isaiah 117 House allows for that same child to never go to an office, but rather a home with loving volunteers to care for them.
Isaiah 117 House provides for that child’s needs, whatever they may be, in these critical moments between removal and placement. Isaiah 117 House has locations in Tennessee, Indiana, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, North Carolina, Iowa, and Virginia.
