Birthday Wishes’ mission is to provide birthday parties to children experiencing homelessness. Birthday Wishes believes that all children, regardless of their living situation, should celebrate their birthdays joyfully, surrounded by family, friends, and others who care. You can help make this happen for those children! Each Birthday-in-a-Box will be delivered to a homeless child and their family unit (up to 6-8 people) while they are staying at a homeless shelter.

We will gather virtually via Zoom on Sunday June 9th to watch a video about Birthday Wishes, get instructions on how to build a Birthday in a Box, and then build our boxes together from the comfort of our own homes. This project involves some upfront shopping, and volunteers can opt to deliver their finished boxes in advance or join us to drop off boxes at Birthday Wishes headquarters in Natick on Monday afternoon, June 10.
