We are looking forward to making Happy Birthday Bags with our friends and neighbours once again. Please help us supply Birthday Bags for the Calgary Food Bank. We will be collecting items during the month of April at Park96 and the Lake Bonavista Community Association. Contact us if you are interested in participating. There will be limited volunteer spots for the assembly day. The Birthday Bag kits are made available for children who might not otherwise enjoy the luxury of a birthday party.
Items We Will Be Collecting
New or excellent condition medium and large gift bags, microwave popcorn, boxed cake mix, tub icing, balloons, candles, new or excellent condition children’s gifts, books, small toys, games, and art and school supplies for ages 3 to 5, 6 to 8, and 9 to 12. Thank you for your ongoing support.
