The Birthday Problem
Supporting Foster Love’s Birthday Box program is vital, ensuring that children in foster care are celebrated on their birthdays. Unfortunately, children often spend 2-3 years in the foster care system, and their birthdays are frequently forgotten or not celebrated for various reasons. Each Birthday Box includes everything needed to throw a birthday party.
The Solution
Our Virtual Service Projects were created to provide safe and impactful ways for individuals to give back, no matter where they are. These projects have shown us that families, friends, and colleagues from diverse backgrounds and locations can unite to support children in foster care. Engage in meaningful service with enjoyable projects that not only bring joy but also transform lives.
