Little Birthday Angels' Mission

To provide a birthday celebration for every homeless child living on the Treasure Coast of Florida.
With the helping hands and hearts of many volunteers, we are providing themed birthday parties and gifts every month at four local shelters. Complete with decorations, games, activities, cupcakes, and goody bags. From set-up to clean-up, our volunteers take care of the whole celebration.

In addition to birthday parties, we recently added two local school districts, providing birthday gifts and essential items to homeless birthday students each month.
