With a group of friends, spent Sunday shopping for families in need.

Whether it's a hot day Wednesday during July at the Dedham Farmer's Market, or a rainy Sunday in December, Jack & Eric Linari of Dedham are serving up smiles and good will. 

On Sunday, Jack and Eric took their hard earned money from the sales and donations of their Pirate Lemonade Stand to do some Christmas shopping for Dedham families in need. 

They set sail for Dick's sporting goods early Sunday morning and purchased some sports equipment that was requested, and then changed course to head to Toys R Us in Dedham.

Along with some friends, they purchased more than $1,000.worth of gifts to give to Dedham children in need this holiday season. They even sent a few of their friends to various stores to purchase clothing and other requested items. 

They will be donating the gifts they purchased to the Dedham Youth Commission's Annual Toy Drive, on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. at the American Legion. 

For more information or to find out how you can donate contact Michael Humphrey at cherokeetrophy@verizon.net or Sarah MacDonald at Smac11231@aol.com.
