Since day one, we've believed that every kid deserves a birthday worth celebrating. Here's what that belief looks like in action.

Stories from the field
I never thought anyone would remember my birthday. When the box arrived I cried — not because I was sad, but because someone actually cared enough to celebrate me.

Birthday box recipient
Volunteering with Celebrate Every Candle changed how I see my community. We packed 80 boxes in one afternoon and every single one felt personal.

As a case worker I've seen a lot of programs come and go. This one sticks because the kids feel it — they know someone went out of their way just for them.

Every dollar and every hour of your time puts a birthday box in the hands of a child who needs it most.
