AN INVITATION TO JOIN OUR BIRTHDAY CLUB
The Foster Care Projects mission is simple: To provide a birthday present to every foster child, youth or transitional youth, referred to us by the Pasadena Department of Children and Family Services. As a volunteer, you will be matched to a child who has an upcoming birthday (suggested gift cost is $25-$40). You will buy and deliver or mail the gift to our Pasadena location. From there we deliver the gift to the child or youth.
Once assigned to a foster child you'll be asked to provide the same child a birthday gift every year until he or she is no longer in foster care. We could use a few more volunteers to add to our list of those ready to provide a gift when a child comes up in need. For more information please contact: inbox@fostercareproject.org
