Service project 2019:
Beverly's Birthdays

Picture
Beverly’s Birthdays, a non-profit organization that provides birthday cheer for children who are homeless and to families in need. Why? Because in Southwestern PA alone, there are nearly 3,000 school-aged children identified as homeless. Children living in poverty often go without the everyday items that we take for granted. Special milestones, like birthdays, are often overlooked because of their families’ personal/financial circumstances.

Beverly’s Birthdays operates several different programs. This year, Kappa Delta Pi, Psi Iota members are collecting items for the Itty Bitty Birthday Cheer Bin program, which provides birthday cheer bins filled with essential items for newborn babies. Items need to be dropped off in Dr. McNelly's Office (Carey 20) before Sunday, February 24, 2019. 

Thanks to Everyone That Donated Items! Take a look at some of the stuff that was donated in the photo below.
