The boys managed to raise £74 and this went towards items for Caithness Foodbank that they recently delivered to the Wick centre.
Pat Ramsay from Caithness Foodbank said: "We’re so impressed by the efforts of these two enthusiast young lads, Sammie and Ollie Hall from Dunbeath.
"They purchased an abundance of food with their monies that they kindly delivered – plus they helped us sort everything out on to the shelves."
Julia Hall, the boys' mum, told Pat it was "lovely once again to contribute a little bit to an amazing job you do in the foodbank".
She went on to say: "It pleases me to see they were very enthusiastic to raise funds for the foodbank for the third consecutive year.
"They held their lemonade stand at the beginning of the summer holidays. They’d put a lot of effort into making fresh lemonade and perfecting the taste.
"Sammie came up with a new flavour (pink berry) lemonade which turned out to be a big hit with locals and tourists." Julia said they had a great time with their little business initiative and were very pleased that their efforts had paid off.
"Now they are looking into new ideas for next year,” she added.
