Bringing joy, literacy, life skills, and family support to children experiencing financial hardship

Who We Are
A&Y Birthday Blessings is a Delaware nonprofit dedicated to celebrating children and supporting families experiencing financial hardship. Through meaningful programs and community partnerships, we create opportunities for children to feel celebrated, connected, supported, and inspired to grow.
Our programs include Birthday in a Box, Read & Celebrate Storytime, and Beyond the Box Workshops, each designed to bring joy, encourage learning, strengthen confidence, and support children's growth.
OUR IMPACT AT A GLANCE
Behind every number is a child who felt celebrated, a family that found support, and a community that chose to make a difference.
OUR PROGRAMS
beyond the box workshops
A series of interactive, age-appropriate workshops designed to help children build practical life skills, strengthen confidence, and discover their potential. Through engaging activities and meaningful conversations, children will explore topics such as financial literacy, emotional well-being, goal setting, communication, and future readiness. Each workshop is designed to equip children with skills they can carry beyond the box and into everyday life.
Ages 6–12 | Coming Soon
Read& Celebrate story time
A monthly interactive literacy program that brings stories to life through engaging read-aloud, hands-on enrichment activities, and social-emotional learning.
Each session is designed to inspire a love of reading while building confidence, creativity, and lifelong learning.
WHY IT MATTERS
A birthday, a book, or a moment of encouragement may seem small, but for a child experiencing hardship, it can make a lasting difference.
Through celebration, literacy, and family support, A & Y Birthday Blessings helps children discover their worth, build confidence, and believe in their potential.
