Birthday in a Bag
"I never had a birthday cake before!" said the the boy in the picture. Do you remember your child's first birthday... or the last birthday party your child had? Can you believe there are children who have never celebrated their birthday with a party or a birthday cake? This is one of those little things we do for children on Joliet's East Side. It is so simple but does so much to raise self esteem and hope for the future to children who don't know how wonderfully God made them. We still need 300 Birthday in a Bag "kits" to finish the year so that every child at Isaac Singleton Elementary School is assured to have a birthday, complete with a birthday cake. All it takes is one cake mix, one can of frosting and a small box of candles put in a small bag or shoe box. Then if you want, add a card (hand made are great) or sprinkles or a small toy or... So bring in several and imagine the fun this will bring on their special day.
