Birthday Drives: Birthdays are important because it's an opportunity for a child to develop a sense of identity and a feeling of self-worth, as they feel recognized and valued for who they are and their growth over the years. For a family struggling to pay rent, put meals on the table, or afford diapers, birthday gifts aren't going to be a priority. KidVantage wants all kids to experience the joys of celebrating their birthday, AND WE NEED YOUR HELP. This summer we're hosting our Birthday Buddies drives, where you can collect new toys and give parents and caregivers a chance to celebrate their children on their special day! If you'd like to host, visit our website to sign-up! www.kidvantagenw.org/organize-a-drive
