How Can You Help?
With Your Time
"Wish I May" is a volunteer run organization by people in our community striving to make a difference one child and one birthday at a time. With no paid staff we are always in need of enthusiastic people who want to jump in and donate time to pull together all the trappings of a birthday, or are willing to make a toy run when companies have a toy drive.
With Your Gifts
We need toys!!! We need party goods!!! And we need your help in getting the word out to your co-workers, family and friends. Serving children age 1 -13 we can use any age group toy, gift cards, and everything you would want to throw your own party or a party for a child you love.

What are Fun Ways to Get What "Wish I May" Needs?
- Host a virtual birthday party and direct your guests by invitation to "wishimay.org" to purchase a gift for a child. We will send them a thank you note from you for their generous participation!! You don't even have to clean the kitchen and decorate... we just add the toys to the shelves and you are a birthday hero!!!
- Have a toy drive at your company with toys instead of cash for dress down days or at the annual company potluck!
- Have your Sunday School class choose a different age each month and bring age appropriate toys
- Ask your customers to help "Wish I May" with a toy drive or a cake mix drive and we'll provide the thank you notes to everyone who helps!!
The most fun way?
- Throw a birthday party for yourself or a friend– but this year ask for toys for "Wish I May" – when was the last time you got to open tons of toys? And this time you'll know every one of them will go to a deserving child!
