A different kind of birthday celebration?

<p>My daughter (high school age) was invited to a birthday celebration which, I understand, will consist of the girls going to a soup kitchen and volunteering for several hours. That’s all I know so far. Will there be cake? I don’t know. </p>

<p>Very interesting idea. I confess it is something I had never thought of for a birthday. I know some people who have done something like this for Christmas or Thanksgiving.</p>

<p>Super idea! Will the guests bring a contribution for the soup kitchen? </p>

<p>I have heard of kids asking for birthday presents for a toy drive around the holidays…some very thoughtful kids and parents out there!</p>
