February 2025
About This Month's Illuminating Impact Nominees:
American Red Cross Disaster Relief - Northern New England
The American Red Cross Disaster Relief's purpose is to meet the immediate disaster-caused needs of individuals, families, and communities.
This organization provides Home Fire Relief, Hurricane Relief, Wildfire Relief, Flood Relief, Earthquake Relief, and Tornado Relief.
After disaster strikes, AMR helps people recover and addresses lingering community needs.
Birthday Wishes - New England
Birthday Wishes makes a difference in the lives of homeless children and their families by bringing them the joy of a birthday party. Birthday parties provide the opportunity for reflection, celebration, and hope. They are a common event in the lives of most families, but for children experiencing homelessness, families may be unable to maintain their routines and rituals. Birthday Wishes ensures that children are not denied this important rite of passage simply because of their living situation.
We offer two types of party programs: Our On-site Program* provides monthly parties at the shelters we serve and celebrates all children, ages 1-18 years, with birthdays in that month. Our Birthday-in-a-Box Program provides a party box and birthday gifts to children and their families staying in domestic violence safe shelters, hotels, and scattered sites so they are still able to celebrate their special day.
