Cheerful Givers

Cheerful Givers : Donate


Everyone deserves a happy birthday. Your support helps us purchase items and supplies to make birthday gift bags for children who are homeless or living in poverty. The gift bags are distributed to a food shelf or shelter, and placed in the hands of children in need. While $50 may not seem that significant, it means the world to a child receiving their first birthday present.

It is only through the generous gifts of people like you that we can continue to provide for this need in our communities. Help us with your donation of any amount then download this PDF certificate.
