The Birthday Party Project

The Birthday Party Project's mission is to bring JOY to children experiencing homelessness 

through the MAGIC of a birthday celebration!

What started in 2012 as an idea to host monthly birthday parties for unsheltered and uncelebrated children has evolved into something far greater. As we’ve grown, we’ve discovered that our celebrations do more than just create magical moments—they also:

• Provide a sense of normalcy for children in crisis.
• Support children who have experienced extreme social and emotional trauma.
• Help strengthen family bonds and create new memories in the midst of turmoil.
• Offer an innovative approach to healing for families in need.
• Educate others about homelessness and provide a fun, approachable, and accessible way to serve.
• Enhance the capacity of hardworking nonprofits and community partners who may lack the resources to host these celebrations themselves.

We partner with 22 shelters and transitional living facilities in North Texas. We leverage the talents of our Birthday Enthusiasts (volunteers) to help us celebrate with hundreds of kids each month! The Birthday Party Project is committed to growth, scalability, sustainability, efficiency, and most importantly—fun! We are continuously expanding our community, investing in those we serve, and inviting others to join us in building a movement centered on young people and the joy of celebration.
