Birthday Wishes brings the magic of a birthday party to thousands of homeless children each year. Founded in 2002 as a volunteer organization serving one local shelter, Birthday Wishes has expanded its program to serve more than 185 shelters and transitional living facilities in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Long Island, New York. Our goal is to provide birthday parties to all homeless children in Massachusetts and to make our model available to homeless family programs nationwide.

On Tuesday, November 18th, Birthday Wishes in Central MA will throw it’s first monthly party for 94 homeless families staying in an area hotel. This will translate into 10-15 birthday children per month, and more than 100 attendees at every party!Please help keep our toy shelves stocked so that we can meet this need and bring joy to children experiencing homelessness in this most difficult environment. Thanks to the generosity of the Boys and Girls Club of Fitchburg and Leominster, Birthday Wishes will be able to provide a big birthday bash at the Club – a complete on-site party for children who would otherwise not be able to celebrate and be celebrated.We’re looking for groups to sponsor birthday gifts for our new party site!
