Build a Birthday-in-a-Box (Long Island)
Please contact us to confirm our real-time needs before planning to build and deliver boxes. Contactless drop off hours are Monday and Wednesday between 10 and 2.
Does your group or organization provide opportunities for community service? Are you looking for a team-building event that can make an impact? Birthday Wishes needs your help to meet the growing demand for our Birthday-in-a-Box program.
The Birthday-in-a-Box (BIAB) Program serves children in domestic violence shelters, scattered sites and other programs which cannot accommodate Birthday Wishes volunteers. Each brightly wrapped box is packed with everything needed to celebrate a birthday including party and baking supplies, decorations, and wrapped gifts for the birthday child. We currently distribute over 120 Birthday-in-a-Box kits per month and have more requests than we can support.
Here’s how you can help:
Let us know what you’re planning and get a copy of the guidelines. Contact us.
Groups purchase specified supplies or host a drive and assemble boxes according to the instructions provided by Birthday Wishes. Customize to your budget. The approximate cost to build a box is between $10-$35.
Arrange delivery of your boxes to our Hicksville, NY office.
