Every dollar goes directly toward meeting urgent needs and supporting families facing hardship right now. Please consider making a gift today and be part of the community that shows up for children when they need it most.

Please join us in wishing a very Happy Birthday to our incredible board member and dedicated volunteer, David Belliotti!

Every single week, David takes on the important task of selecting, purchasing, and bagging the hygiene products we distribute to children and families throughout Washington County.

Thanks to his dedication, generosity, and commitment to our mission, Children In Need, Inc. has been able to distribute more than 25,000 hygiene items to local children and families this calendar year thus far.

That's 25,000 essential items helping children feel clean, confident, and cared for, and David has played an instrumental role in making that possible.

David, we are so grateful for the time, energy, and heart you pour into Children In Need. Your behind-the-scenes efforts make an extraordinary difference in the lives of the children we serve.

Happy Birthday, David! We hope your day is as wonderful as you are!

Help us show David some birthday love in the comments below!
