Did you catch our big announcement yesterday? We shared on our Instagram and Facebook accounts about our community donation drive in support of Birthbrite, and now we are hopping over here to provide you with all of the details!
First, you may be wondering just who is Birthbrite and what do they do? Birthbrite is a non-profit organization in Jackson, Michigan whose mission is to deliver hope and joy to children in foster care. Birthbrite stocks a wide variety of items for children and families in their foster care closet. Items are then provided to foster care children and families free of charge.
Amazing, right? If you want to read more about Birthbrite, click here to read our “Five Questions – A Social Impact Series” feature about them. If you are more of a visual learner, we highly recommend watching this video feature about Birthbrite from Good Things Going – Jackson.
