Birthday In a Box Volunteers

It’s hard to imagine celebrating a child’s birthday without a party or presents. But for many local families, finding the extra money to afford a child’s birthday celebration is a struggle at best, and frequently impossible.

Family-to-Family’s Birthdays In a Box program is designed to help these families by providing a small “party in a box” for a child in need. It also provides privileged children with the opportunity to learn empathy in a concrete way by helping another child.

Birthdays In a Box are shoeboxes filled with everything needed for a small birthday party, and each box goes to a different child. Volunteers are needed to help collect materials for this project through drives in their neighborhoods, schools, or workplaces. This is a great opportunity for scout troops, school clubs, church groups, or any other group looking for a way to help needy children.
