Madison Birthday Boost partners with local social workers to provide fully assembled birthday celebrations for children whose families are experiencing financial or other hardship. Each child receives a themed birthday box with decorations, gifts, and everything needed to feel celebrated.
Every week, children in Madison would otherwise go without a birthday celebration. We make sure that does not happen.
We are looking for one East Madison leader and one West Madison leader to host a neighborhood birthday drop-off site.
You will not be coordinating with agencies or managing the overall system. We handle that centrally. You will not be doing this alone. We provide the materials, structure, and ongoing support.
What You Will Do
-
Host a small porch-based or in-home drop-off and pick-up location
-
Help organize and assemble 5 to 15 birthday boxes per week
-
Make completed boxes available for scheduled agency pick-up
-
Welcome local volunteers who sign up to help
If someone enjoys leadership and wants to take on more, there is room to grow into volunteer coordination, but that is completely optional.
Time Commitment
About 5 to 10 hours per week, usually spread across one or two evenings.
Ideal Location
We are especially hoping to expand into:
-
East Madison near the Isthmus or SASY neighborhood
-
West Madison near West Towne Mall or the Gammon Road area
We are adding sites in these areas to better serve social workers and volunteers across the city.
If you are organized, dependable, and want a consistent way to support families in your community, this is a meaningful and practical way to make a difference close to home.
