Coming Soon: Project Lemonade’s new home in the Albina District.
Project Lemonade has identified a space to call our new home!
This has been a thoughtful process, filled with visioning, planning, and a whole lot of hope. Finding the right space was about more than four walls — it was about finding a place where youth feel safe, supported, and celebrated.
We truly believe we’ve found that place at the Leftbank Building, located in the historic Albina District. The Leftbank Building offers 8,000 sq ft of space to house our store, offices and youth hub.
Our space build-out has begun, and we are anticipating our move in May 2026.
This holiday season, you can give the gift that matters most — hope.
For youth in foster care, the holidays can be a difficult time.
With your support, they can also be filled with warmth, connection, and joy.
We're on a mission to provide $175,000 in essential resources for our youth this winter.
You can #GiveHope and help us Foster The Holidays.
