Organization's Mission: 
The Birthday Wishes Mission Our mission is simple: To bring birthday parties to homeless children.

Other information: 
The rapid and continued growth of Birthday Wishes is due in large part to community involvement. Everyone can relate to the importance of a birthday, and this has meant much grass-roots support. Birthday Wishes volunteers number over 400 and include local teens, adults, and children, participating as individuals or as part of a family, scout troop, church group, sports team, or school program. These volunteers are a diverse group representing over scores of communities in Massachusetts and range in age from toddlers to senior citizens. Volunteers help to provide the party supplies needed for monthly parties and, most importantly, attend and help run the birthday parties. The various ways in which volunteers can contribute allow for many levels of participation and provide a wonderful opportunity for families to volunteer together.
