In June 2014 we wrote about a group of kids spending their precious summer time helping the homeless by raising money and creating summer survival kits. The group called the Little Stewpot Stewards earned more than $3,500 by selling lemonade, and they distributed more than 600 kits to Stewpot clients. “It is a two-hour commitment each week — distributing the packs, assembling packs for the next week, and then a lesson,” Desler says. “It has gotten so big. It started as a passion for April [Gorman], and I think she was completely amazed by how many wanted to participate. Our challenge has been to create those opportunities that are both meaningful for them and useful for the [clients at the Stewpot].”
