How You Can Help?

How You Can Help?

  • Shop and Assemble a Birthday Box

    We have created a step by step guide to help you assemble a Birthday Box. We have also created online registry wishlists for each age category to help with the shopping process.

  • Sponsor a Birthday Box

    Donate $35 to cover the costs of a Birthday Box. Join us in making a child's wish come true!

  • Host a Birthday Box Building Party

    Rally your people (you know who they are - family, friends, life group, bowling league, bunko tribe, book club, etc.) to join you in collecting items from the Birthday Box guide or wishlists and build some boxes to donate together. We are better together!

  • Donate Birthday Box Items

    We can always use hygiene, clothing, toy and creative items to fill Birthday Boxes. Feel free to shop for individual items on our wishlists below and they will be sent to us. We will add them to the boxes we are assembling every month.
