Birthday Buddies
Through the Birthday Buddy program, a donating child agrees to give some or all of his/her birthday presents to a foster child who is celebrating a birthday too. Families can look online to select their buddy from biographies of local foster children with upcoming birthdays. The Birthday Buddy program helps make the foster child?s birthday extra-special, while also teaching the donating child and his/her guests about the importance of helping others in need.
For more information about becoming a Birthday Buddy, please call the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition at 1-800-FOSTER3 or email
