Bring a child or teen birthday joy!

Can you help us stock the Interfaith Outreach Birthday Shelf (available to kids turning 1-18) and ensure all children have a happy birthday celebration?

We have many crafts and books available but are in need of fleece tie blankets, DVDs, gift cards and other popular items listed below. In addition to one birthday gift valued around $15-20, we also supply extra celebration items for families (birthday-themed plates, napkins, large gift bags). Please bring your unwrapped donations to our offices at 1605 County Road 101 N in Plymouth. Our donation doors are open two days a week: Fridays and Mondays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Not only are you providing joy to children but also hope and encouragement to parents! Thank you.
