Birthday Boxes
Since 2010, RSVP Volunteers from Trempealeau County have been assembling Birthday Boxes for children in Western Wisconsin. Each month, dozens of brightly wrapped boxes are filled with
cake mix, frosting, candles, colorful plates and napkins, and a few small toys. The boxes 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.
Request a Birthday Box
Birthday Boxes are currently available in Buffalo, Eau Claire, Jackson, Trempealeau and Pepin counties. Delivery is available in limited locations.
