You're invited to participate in a virtual volunteer event that spreads kindness, care and compassion for children who have complex medical conditions, their caregivers, and their care providers.

One of our kids' favorite things is to enjoy a special meal and interact with you and your team afterward - meals can be homemade, prepared on site, delivered or purchased from a restaurant. If a full meal is more than you'd like to tackle, snacks or desserts are also a great option.

Here’s some information to help you:
• Please wear PPE when preparing food to ensure the safety of our kids and staff.
• Meals (if being delivered only) should arrive warm and ready to eat.
• We provide plates, cups, utensils and napkins - no need to worry about that.
• Cancellation Policy: We get it. Life happens. However, if you must cancel, please give us at least a weeks’ notice as we may receive an extra charge from our food provider for late orders.

Food Information:
• Please plan on serving a main course, side dishes, drinks, and dessert (if possible).
• You are welcome to bring juice, herbal tea, flavored waters, and lemonade. Avoid caffeinated drinks (no Mountain Dew, Pepsi, Coke, Dr. Pepper, etc.), and please bring drinks in bottles so they can be easily poured into cups.
• We have standard condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo), but we always appreciate having more. If there are other condiments that are needed for your meal, please bring them.

Purchasing Meals from Restaurants: If you are unable to cook but would still like to provide a meal, here are some restaurants our kids enjoy and work well for large groups.
• Snooze, An A.M. Eatery
• Pepper Asian Bistro
• Maggiano's Little Italy
• 7 Legunas Mexican Grille
• The Ethiopian Restaurant
• 9 Thai Restaurant
• Yahya's Mediterranean Grill & Pastries
• Pizza parties, Build a Sub, Breakfast for Dinner are also great ideas (not to mention interactive). We encourage you to be creative. It gives you an opportunity to interact with the kids, it gives us an opportunity to teach them about a new food, culture or practice.

Organize, sort, and sometimes launder new or gently used clothing donated to Homes of Hope for the Hope Room.
When a child is placed in foster care they usually only have the clothes they are wearing. The families that take them in do not have the clothing and or baby furniture needed for these children. They call us with sizes and needs and we provide clothing, beds, car seats, etc. for the children. We need help keeping the Hope Room stocked and sorted with items for these emergency needs and for families to visit the Hope Room up to three times a year per child.

It's Your Birthday, Inc. is kicking off 2021 with a fun virtual volunteer opportunity. Similar to our past decorating events – hats and treat bags, we would like to decorate 60 birthday boxes. Since March of 2020, we have paused hosting birthday parties in shelters and instead provided the child with a fun Birthday-in-a-Box (or in some cases, a Bag). Well, we are running low on nicely decorated boxes. We anticipate celebrating 250-300 birthdays this year. The 60 boxes will help us through the first few months 😊

Please consider volunteering with us on January 18th in observance of Dr. MLK Day of Service and decorate boxes with us! No RSVP needed – just dial in at one of the times most convenient for you. This is a great activity for a group to enjoy!
