Providing basic needs and inspiring self-esteem.
The Project Lemonade Store is open year-round to serve the needs of foster youth. The store provides a welcoming retail environment for youth ages 5-24 to shop, free of charge, for new and on-trend clothing, shoes and accessories.
About the Store & Virtual Shopping
We encourage youth to come to the store to shop in person so you can choose the exact styles and brands you like.
We also offer a virtual shopping option for youth who live outside of Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington County. We do not have an online store, but you can fill out a form including sizing and style preferences.

All shoppers need to bring documentation indicating foster care status such as a resource parent placement or guardianship letter, or email from a caseworker stating eligibility.
