Lemonade Living has big dreams and with its plan to purchase the Lujan Homestead Cabin this week, many of those dreams are about to come true.
“When Lemonade Living first started, the goal was to build a farm and have an activities program with a long-term goal of a residential campus,” Lemonade Living Founder Melissa Arias said.
The creation of a jobs training program kicked off when Rose Chocolatier, 149 Central Park Square, was donated to Lemonade Living in 2019.

Family Strengths Network And Las Cumbres Community Services Team Up To Support Families

Remember the fracas in June 2020 over the awarding of a Los Alamos County contract meant to fund family resource programs?
Family Strengths Network (FSN) had been funded by the County since 1999 under one-year contracts. Instead, in 2020, the County instituted a three-year contract and awarded the full amount of funding to Las Cumbres Community Services. An outpouring of support for FSN, including nearly 100 public comments to the County Council caused them to step back and rethink the process.
This story has a happy ending, with both organizations receiving funding through two separate RFP processes.
