Build a Birthday-in-a-Box
The Birthday-in-a-Box program was created in 2005 to serve homeless children in domestic violence shelters, scattered sites, motels, and other locations which cannot accommodate Birthday Wishes Party Coordinators. The BIAB Program allows Birthday Wishes to reach homeless children in almost any living situation. When the COVID-19 crisis put our On-Site Party program on hold we were able to quickly transition all of our shelters into the Birthday-in-a-Box program and continue to provide a celebration to every child we serve.
Party supplies are carefully packaged inside a brightly wrapped box and delivered to the program, agency, motel, or other facility for distribution to families, along with a bag of wrapped gifts for the birthday celebrant. Each birthday box contains everything necessary for a great birthday celebration. This program empowers and bonds families, helping them maintain this important tradition while in a shelter.
We rely on volunteer groups to fill and assemble the hundreds of birthday boxes we send out each month. For consistency purposes, we have specific instructions that must be followed. Please contact us to confirm our real-time needs before planning to build and deliver boxes.
