Birthday in a Box Update

Birthday in a Box MHK has already delivered 14 Birthday boxes in the last 2 months!  We are so excited that we have been able to help these children have a birthday celebration!  

HyVee Manhattan also decided to partner with us and is providing already made and decorated birthday cakes for all the Birthday in a Box children!  

St. Thomas More Catholic Church also did a donation drive for Birthday in a Box.  The 5th grade religious education classes made signs and collected donations.  They collected numerous items for birthday boxes and some cash donations that we were able to use to purchase $15 gift cards to include in all the birthday boxes! Thank You!

A special Thank You to Ashlyn, the community service chair for the Cico Shamrocks 4-H club and her club, for donating over $65 and lots of goodies to Birthday in a Box!  These will be VERY helpful to fill the summer birthday boxes!


We would also like to Thank the Marlatt Elementary Girls on the Run team for baking for our Walmart Bake Sale on Thursday, May 14th.

Another Big Thank You to the Marlatt Elementary 3rd Grade Becoming Girls who Lead the Way group for working the bake sale!
