Birthday Blessing is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that organizes birthday parties for under-privileged children with the hope of making them feel loved and important on their special day. Our mission is to touch their lives and to show them how much Jesus Christ loves them and wants a relationship with them.
Why was Birthday Blessing created?
Birthday Blessing was created to enable parents who are struggling financially to provide the gift of a party to their children – something that parents who are financially stable often take for granted. Parents may have been stripped of their jobs, their homes, their cars but they do not have to deny their children a special celebration in their honor. Birthdays are special because they celebrate the uniqueness of each individual. No two people are alike. That’s by God’s design. So, the birthday of a child is a big reason for celebration. The birthday is a milestone in a child’s life that is meant to bring family and friends together; it’s a time to celebrate all the child has achieved during the year and it’s a time to look forward with hope and excitement about the future.
Who qualifies for Birthday Blessing?
We work with various shelters and social organizations to identify children living in unfortunate situations. We seek children ages 5-12 who would benefit the most from this ministry. If you know of a child and family in need you may Contact Us. We’d be happy to discuss the situation in more detail, however, we primarily rely on recommendations from churches and social organizations.
What will be provided at the party?
Birthday Blessing will provide food, drinks, cake, party favors, gifts, songs, lots of fun, and maybe even a few little surprises!? And plenty of love and friendship, too!
What is the cost of a party?
At each party Birthday Blessing will spend between $100-$200 per birthday child. This can vary due to several factors, including things such as the venue, gifts, number of invited guests for each birthday child, etc.
Who can a child invite to a party?
The birthday child may invite his/hers imediate family plus 3 friends.
Will there be any cost for the birthday child and his/her family?
No, there is no cost to the birthday child’s family or invited guests. It is Birthday Blessing’s honor to provide this memorable event in the child’s life.
