How We Celebrate

School Program

Our Birthday Bags of Hope are our main missional outreach. These birthday bags are delivered each month filled with wonderful gifts to make a homeless child’s birthday special. We use the word “hope” in the description because that is what these bags bring to children who might not otherwise be celebrated on their special day. The following video provides additional information about our Birthday Workshop and our mission. Watch and enjoy!

BIRTHDAY BAGS OF HOPE

For homeless children not living in a shelter, we connect with the school district's homeless advocate. They share with us the name, age, gender, and birthday. We provide a large duffle bag, lap desk, toiletries, socks, wrapped gifts, a bible, and other essential items for each child. Placing everything into a duffel bag gives them something to keep their personal items in, and provides privacy for them. Everything is delivered to the child by the school's homeless advocate.

Shelter Program

BIRTHDAY PARTIES

Our birthday celebrations begin with a connection with the shelters that we serve. They share with us who is celebrating their birthday the following month, and provide us with a wish list. We thoughtfully choose gifts and essential items for the birthday gifts. It is our goal to create an environment of pure excitement and joy for these children. Some of these children have never had “their” day celebrated.
We arrive the day of the party and decorate the room from top to bottom with colorful decorations, provide games, cupcakes, goody bags, and, of course, the birthday presents. These are all the exciting aspects of a traditional party that most of us grew up anticipating!
