Timmy just turned 8 years old but there were no presents, no cake and no decorations. His mom said they didn’t have the money to celebrate, and it broke her heart.

While picking up groceries at our food pantry at Wingate Baptist Church Timmy (and his Mom) were shocked to see a Birthday cake and lots of kid-friendly foods being loaded into their car by volunteers. He just had to ask our volunteers: “How did you know it was my Birthday?”

**Many thanks to Alexis and her daughter for making 20 Birthday kits to help more families like Timmy’s celebrate their special days.**
