Many of the children at Bellewood & Brooklawn have faced abuse and neglect, and while we wish they didn’t have to spend their birthday with us, we want to make sure they feel truly special on their big day. You can help make their birthday celebrations memorable by donating to our "Birthday Bags."
These bags are given to our residents to help make their birthday feel joyful and celebrated within their cottages. Items we need for the Birthday Bags include a decorated birthday bag for youth aged 7 to 18, plates and napkins for 15 people, a birthday tablecloth and decorations, birthday candles, a birthday card with warm wishes, and a small gift like puzzles or other small games.
We ask that the items be gender-neutral to be as inclusive as possible. Homemade cards or signs are welcome, but please avoid religious language, as we serve individuals from all faiths and backgrounds.
Donations can be dropped off at our Brooklawn campus, located at 3121 Brooklawn Campus Drive, Louisville, KY 40218, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
For more information or to coordinate your donation, please reach out to Marcie Stewart, Volunteer Coordinator, via email at mstewart@bellewoodandbrooklawn.org. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in these children's lives.
