Make A Child's Wish Come True PDF Print E-mail

ImageWe need your help to ensure that the birthday wishes of children living at Five Acres come true. You can make sure that the abused, neglected, and at-risk children we serve enjoy their special day.  We would greatly appreciate your support of our efforts by donating toys and games, movie or theme park passes, or gift cards - which allow the child the opportunity to shop for and choose their own gift. 

Donations of new toys and gifts are needed year-round in order to meet birthday needs as new children arrive at Five Acres every week.
