Welcome to Project Birthday Bag

Every Child Deserves a Happy Birthday!

Project Birthday Bag is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization providing ‘Happy Birthdays’ to underprivileged children and their parents/guardians in southwest Missouri. The children we reach are those whose families are experiencing extreme financial difficulties and find it impossible to provide even the smallest birthday celebration. Project Birthday Bag is volunteer-based and donation driven. We want every gift and donation given to go straight to the families we serve.

Why is “Project Birthday Bag” important?

Project Birthday Bag knows that every child’s birthday is important and that even when parents and guardians don’t have the means to provide, the toys given through our organization let them give their children a special day. Too many families find themselves lacking the funds to be able to provide a birthday for their children. No child should ever have to go without celebrating the day of their birth because a parent has to make the difficult choice between that month’s bills and the birthday wishes of their child.

Birthday Bags:

Project Birthday Bag works with over 30 not-for-profit organizations in our area to provide birthday bags. A birthday bag will include a cake mix, icing, candles, birthday card, party plates, napkins, age-appropriate toys and books, gift bags and tissue paper. Each bag is valued at approximately $50.
