CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Lemonade has been turning into "dough" for an organization that helps children who don’t have permanent homes. Ann McAveeney founded Fill a Heart 4 Kids in 2007 to provide supplies, gifts, and more to young people who live on the street or are foster children living in group homes. This time of year, her group provides young people with school supplies.

"It’s insane. As of today, we will have delivered 30,000 school supplies," she said.

"It's so important for kids to be remembered, not just at Christmas time or on their birthday. We’re about constant contact. It’s our goal to do something special every single month for all the children we serve," McAveeney said.
