Birthday BoxesWe need your help to provide birthday presents for children in foster care! If you contact the center, we can provide you with the age, gender and birthday wishes of a child in foster care. Once you purchase a gift, we ask that you wrap the present using a gift bag, then place it in a box that is suitable for mailing (but do not seal the box) and attach a few dollars to pay for postage. The birthday box should be brought to the Fannin County Children’s Center (CASA & CAC) at least one week prior to the child’s birthday. Staff will then add a personal card from CASA and CPS, seal the box, address it and mail it. For more information, call (903) 583-4339.
