Birthday Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Calvary Women’s Services offers housing, health, employment and education programs that empower homeless women in Washington, DC to change their lives. Founded in 1983, our programs carry out our mission to offer "a safe, caring place for tonight; support, hope and change for tomorrow."

Join us to help make women at Calvary feel celebrated and special! Each month, we host a birthday party for women whose birthdays fall within the month. Volunteers plan and host birthday parties with a small group of 4-6 volunteers, and are responsible for providing decorations, a cake (or other birthday party food) and a small gift bag for each woman who has a birthday.

Birthday parties take place on the first Saturday of the month, from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. Your team of volunteers should plan to arrive at 6:00pm to set up. All Calvary residents are invited to enjoy birthday parties, and typically 10-15 attend, including 4-5 who have birthdays in the month.

We require our volunteers to make a commitment to host 2 birthday parties per year with the option to extend based on the volunteers’ availability.
