About Birthday Wishes

The Birthday Wishes Mission


Volunteer"Our mission is simple: To bring birthday parties to homeless children. Birthday Wishes recognizes the importance of a birthday in a child's life and believes that the gift of a birthday celebration provides normalcy, joy and hope in these children's otherwise unsettled lives.

Our grassroots philosophy fosters the spirit of volunteerism and community service in the adults, children and families who donate their time and resources to our mission. "

ARTBEAT Your Creativity Store and the Birthday Guru Mama, Jan Griffin-Hazlett, have teamed together to offer a monthly free craft time that benefits the children who receive birthday parties from Birthday Wishes. Your child will decorate a sand art birthday card that will be given to a child celebrating a birthday while living in a homeless shelter.

WHY?

Help your kids learn the value of charity, service and giving. We will talk about the Birthday Wishes organization and what they do for homeless kids.

WHEN?Held the first Saturday of every month from 3:30 to 4 pm at 9 Summer St Franklin MA.
