We currently serve 6 shelters: Center for Hope and Safety, Family Promise, Taylor's House, St. Francis, Church at the Park, and Simonka Place. At this time we host an in-person birthday party at Simonka Place in Keizer once a month, and we celebrate all children living at the shelter who have a birthday that month. At the rest of the shelters, we celebrate children with a "birthday in a box."
We appreciate volunteers who help at our Simonka parties! We need help with set-up, clean-up, handing out food and goodie bags, and assisting with the craft or activity. Parties are from 2:00 - 3:00, and we ask our volunteers to arrive at 1:30 to help with the set-up, and we are typically out by 3:30. If you are interested, please email/call/text Laura (see contact info above).
The dates for our 2024 Simonka Place parties are:

It is only because of generous donations from community members and organizations that we are able to continue this work. Shelter managers share that these parties have an incredibly positive impact on the kids. While financial donations are always appreciated, we also continue to take donations of toys, gift wrap, gift bags, tissue paper, tape refills, birthday candles, goodie bags for kids, and gift cards for kids.
Again, THANK YOU for your continued support!
YOU are making a positive difference in the
lives of children!
