Here is What's Happening this Month!
Registration is Now Open for the Walk for Birthdays!
Please join us for the Walk for Birthdays, a virtual walk and fitness challenge to raise much needed funds and awareness for our programs.

In the past year our lives have been upended, interrupted, and changed irrevocably in many ways. One thing that has not changed however, is the plight of homeless families. The disappointment of not being able to celebrate a birthday is one of the things many people experienced for the first time during the pandemic. For the homeless families we serve, this is a normal occurrence.

This is why now, more than ever, we need to ensure that our program will be operational for everyone who needs it when this crisis abates. Unfortunately, this is not a sure thing, and it's why we are asking you to join us for this year's event.
Join us in logging 15,000 miles before Sunday, June 6th!
Any activity that can be measured in miles counts, so choose your own personal mileage goal, put on your running shoes, hop on your bike, or jump in a pool to help us in our mission to bring birthday joy to a child experiencing the trauma of homelessness.
  1. Simply register individually or join a team
  2. Create a fundraising page
  3. Choose a personal mileage goal and start logging miles!

Prior to the pandemic, each Birthday Wishes birthday party included a craft activity as part of the fun. Now children 3 and up can try one of our favorites and say “Thanks a bunch” to teachers, nurses. mom or dad and other important people in their life. Get yours with a $20 donation and we'll ship it right to your door. Each kit contains supplies and instructions to create 5 paper blooms. Your donation will support our Birthday-in-a-Box program and ensure children experiencing the trauma of homelessness feel special and celebrated on the day they were born.
Thank you to Danielle Flynn and members of The Wayland Children and Parents Association donated these fun and creatively themed Birthdays-in-a-Box as part of their community outreach program. Building Birthdays-in-a-Box is an easy activity to do at home with your child and an example of how to give back. If your group or organization is interested in building boxes please let us know. We're happy to work with you on a virtual Birthdays-in-a-Box build or provide DIY instructions!
Melrose Highlands Congregational Church’s wonderful volunteer, Carol Rosseland lead her organization in building and donating 25 Birthdays-in-Box.  Each box was beautifully wrapped and filled with themed birthday supplies donated by her church’s congregation.
