On the Day You Were Born provides birthday baskets to children in need. Each basket contains new clothing,
shoes, toys and a book. It is all wrapped and topped off with a stuffed animal, paper party supplies and a
birthday cake donated by Creative Cakery. The program averages 25 birthdays per month and it's goal is to make
each abused, neglected or at-risk Long Beach child feel special and loved on their birthday. These birthday
presents and gifts go to children from 2 to 12 from low-income families so they can have a celebration with their
family. This project is entirely staffed by volunteers. If you would like to brighten a child's birthday,
for $75 you can fund a birthday celebration.
