Birthday Bags
Since 2010, RSVP Volunteers from Trempealeau County have been assembling Birthday Bags for children in Western Wisconsin. Each month, dozens of bright bags are filled with
cake mix, frosting, candles, colorful plates and napkins, and a few small toys. The bags are delivered to children staying in Western Dairyland homeless shelters, families enrolled in Head Start, and other families who are struggling to make ends meet.
Our goal is to provide every child, regardless of their economic situation, with a happy birthday.

Birthday Bags are currently available in Buffalo, Eau Claire, Jackson, Trempealeau and Pepin counties. Delivery is available in limited locations.
