What is it?
The "Birthday Box" is a compassionate and heartwarming program designed to ensure that every child, regardless of their circumstances, can experience the joy and celebration of their birthday. Aimed at supporting children in need, residing on the Ridge, this initiative seeks to bridge the gap in joy and celebration that financial hardships can create.
At its core, the Birthday Box is a "party in a box." It's thoughtfully curated to include all the essentials needed to host a birthday celebration, allowing a child who might not otherwise have the means for a party to feel special, celebrated, and remembered on their big day. The box typically contains party supplies such as decorations, balloons, a birthday cake or cake mix, utensils, and gifts tailored to the age and interests of the child. For children aged 0 to 18, items included are often age-appropriate toys, books, and sometimes clothing, ensuring that the contents not only provide celebration but also practical use.
The contents typically include:
• Tableware: This includes plates, napkins, cups, and a tablecloth, providing the necessary items for serving food and drinks during the celebration.
• Decorations: Streamers, curling ribbon, balloons, and tape are included to decorate the party space, creating a festive atmosphere.
• Small Gift for Child: Lastly, a birthday gift is included for the birthday child. It is left unwrapped but accompanied by a birthday card and a gift bag or tissue paper for the family to use when wrapping it, allowing them to personalize the gift presentation.
