A Mom's Heart to Honor Her Daughter

Celebrate Katie Buckle's heavenly birthday by donating to children and teens in need!

There is nothing like a mother's love for her children, the tender love and deep care mom's have as they watch their children grow and become adults. One mom equated it to letting "your heart walk out into the world" hoping that it is equipped enough to live it out. Unfortunately, life can hit our children hard. One local mom, Cathy McInnis, has decided to honor her daughter's memory by giving to the children in the community.

In partnership with Simply Birthdays, an organization that provides birthday celebrations for homeless children and teens, Cathy is hosting a Drive-By-Party, a 5th annual event in honor of her daughter's heavenly birthday in 2020.

Please consider bringing an unwrapped birthday gift/gift card for a child or teen or donate using this link or the QR code below. On Saturday, March 1st from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. drive by 842 Sandpine Loop NE, Keizer, OR to drop off your donation and help a child in need feel special on their birthday!
