    ask local stores to collect for you.

Birthday Bag Blitz Volunteers
Any group (civic, corporate, church, school, family or friends) can hold a
Birthday Bag Blitz at your location to provide birthday gift bags for disadvantaged
children. Each person brings small new toys for children ages 3-12, then gets
together in a group to assemble the birthday bags by placing ten items in each
gift bag and delivers them to a nearby shelter or food shelf. This is a unique fun
activity for all ages!

Be sure to let us know how many birthday bags you filled and where you
donated them. Contact karen@cheerfulgivers.org
