Birthdays
A personalized birthday gift for children in foster and kinship care whose birthday might otherwise pass uncelebrated.
What it is
The Birthday program provides a $25 item tailored to the interests of a child experiencing foster or kinship care.
Why it matters
We know that children in foster and kinship care don't always experience birthdays the way their peers do. We believe that every child deserves to feel seen and celebrated on their birthday.
