Our programs bring positive emotional experiences to children and their families by lifting spirits, boosting confidence, broadening

horizons, and supporting basic needs. 

STUDENT BIRTHDAYS AT WEST BOULEVARD!

This school year, we will reach out to elementary students at West Boulevard and their families who need a little extra help, by providing treats for the birthday child to pass out to their classmates. For elementary students, a classroom birthday party helps boost confidence and empowers each child by giving them an opportunity to be givers in a peer

environment while celebrating their special day!

PARTIES FOR CHILDREN IN SHELTERS!

This program brings the simple childhood joy of birthday parties to homeless/displaced children ages tots to teens, a first time experience for most. We look to give the children a sense of recognition and value on their special day and to create a time of togetherness for families experiencing the challenges

of everyday life.

BASKETS FOR NEWBORNS

This program provides a basket full of new care essentials and gifts to welcome and support the arrival of babies whose parents need a little extra financial support. The worry and expense of providing for a baby

can be overwhelming and we hope our baskets will help lessen the stress and strain!

ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN IN HOSPITALS !

Our final program looks to bring joy and recognition to children who are in the hospital. We will provide games and crafts to brighten the child’s day!
