Helping from Home or Work:
Making Birthday Kits

Birthday Kits provide a family in need with a special treat and a chance to make memories. These kits are fun and easy to make, and bring a lot of joy to the people who receive them. To deliver, simply gather the items below, nest the cake pan and lid together, pack items into the pan, and WRAP the pan and its contents in plastic wrap to seal (see photo at right). Please contact office@baltimorehungerproject.org if you have questions.
