🎂 Celebrating Our Amazing Youth at the KCNC Dream Center! 🎉

Every month, we have the privilege of celebrating the birthdays of foster youth and youth experiencing homelessness at the KCNC Dream Center. For many of these young people, birthday celebrations may be rare or something they have gone years without experiencing. We are honored to help make their birthday month feel special and memorable.

A heartfelt thank you to Ghila Dolci Bakery for generously donating a beautiful and delicious birthday cake and helping brighten the day of our youth. Your kindness reminds them that they are valued, celebrated, and cared for. 💙🧡

Each month, on the last Wednesday of the month, at 11 a.m., we celebrate all youth with birthdays during that month. Thank you to our community partners and supporters who help make these moments possible and remind our youth that they deserve to be celebrated.

If you would like to contribute to this celebration, pay us a visit or call us at (661)636-4488.
