Already have everything you want for your birthday? Dedicate your day to helping our community! Create your very own page where your friends and family can give in your name, so Vermont families have the food they need to thrive.

Dedicating an anniversary or birthday for your favorite pup or a business start date is also a cause to celebrate! Any birthday can be day for doing good.

Sports

Get movin’ in the name of a cause. You can coordinate a block walk, a doggie run, a bike ride – anything active is fair game! This is a great option if you want to involved with a group. Great for kids and adults alike, decide your activity and you’re ready to go! Just remember that as you’re burning calories and having a great time, you’re making a difference in the community, too.
