Milton’s Craft Bakers partners with the Birthday Party Project
Milton’s Craft Bakers believes that everyone should be able to experience the joy of eating well. That’s why the company is partnering with nonprofit organization The Birthday Party Project to bring joy through the magic of birthday parties to children experiencing homelessness in 19 markets across the country. In addition to a financial contribution, Milton’s Craft Bakers will be supporting the organization’s monthly birthday parties by providing thin and crispy cauliflower crust pizzas for the celebrations.

There are more than 2.5 million children in the United States living in a shelter each year. Though this is usually temporary, The Birthday Party Project aims to bring a level of normalcy to the day-to-day by not letting milestones like birthdays go unnoticed. To date, the organization has celebrated more than 24,000 birthday kids and hosted more than 2,600 birthday parties, with 65,000 kids attending those parties.
“At The Birthday Party Project, we believe that every child deserves to be seen, known, and celebrated – especially on their Birthday. We are so excited to bring Milton’s Craft Bakers onboard as one of our partners to help spread more joy through tasty food that brings people together to celebrate some very deserving kids,” said Wade Lairsen, CEO of The Birthday Party Project.
The Birthday Party Project is the newest charitable partner for Milton’s, joining a list that includes Project H.O.O.D and City of Hope. Milton’s Craft Bakers will share additional opportunities to engage with and support The Birthday Party Project in the coming months.
