Birthday Program
We are excited to have the opportunity to celebrate foster children throughout Maricopa County on their birthday! We have a birthday program that provides the children with a couple of gifts that they get to open on their birthday. For teens, they are a little pickier so we send them gift cards to go shopping on their own. Birthdays should be treated as something special and not an inconvenience as each child may not have family to celebrate with. Every life is precious.
Donations to Arizonans for Children qualify for the QFCO tax credit. If you need ideas on what to buy, you can shop on our Amazon wish list for convenience. If you prefer to drop off the gifts, please mark them for the birthday program and deliver it to one of our Visitation Center locations below. For any questions, pease contact Nikki Robinson at (480) 640-6662.
