Birthday Wishes is a nonprofit organization that brings the experience of a birthday party to homeless children. Founded in 2002 and based in Sudbury, Massachusetts, it began with a single local shelter and has since expanded to serve more than 185 shelters and transitional living facilities across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Long Island, New York. The organization aims to ensure birthday celebrations for all homeless children in Massachusetts and to extend its model to homeless family programs nationwide. It operates within the nonprofit sector, collaborating with community partners to provide meaningful, celebratory experiences for children facing housing instability. A recent development reported is the appointment of a new chair of the Board of Directors, reflecting governance changes during its ongoing expansion.
