Birthday Boxes

Assemble festive birthday kits for your local food pantry.

Birthday-in-a-box kits contain everything needed to celebrate a special day, including cake mix, candles, and a few festive extras.

Why this Kindness Project Matters

By pledging to donate at least 10 Birthday-in-a-Box Kits, you'll make a difference by helping a family in need celebrate a special day. This Kindness Project is donated to the Full Shelf Food Pantry, a nonprofit organization that supplies the West Bend and surrounding communities with access to quality, wholesome food. The Food Pantry is dedicated to ensuring no one is hungry and nothing goes to waste. You can learn more about the organization at fullshelffoodpantry.org

Assembly

  1. Purchase all required materials and optional extras. (Here’s a fun idea: host a donation drive at your workplace or with friends & family to collect needed items!)
  2. Assemble materials into the foil cake pan and cover it with the lid.
  3. Helpful tip: cut out a piece of cardboard backing to place under the foil pan. Tie everything with a festive ribbon. This helps prevent buckling of the foil pan, especially when they’re stacked together.
  4. Take pictures of the assembly process and/or the finished product and tag the Volunteer Center of Washington County or email ceteam@volunteernow.net!

Delivery

Delivery instructions vary by project. We’ll send you specific delivery instructions after registration.
