Open to all ages, these events feature classic old school tunes, balloons, glitter tattoos, face painting, and free fruit sundae stations for kids. More importantly, they raise vital funds for workshops that help families living in temporary housing across Birmingham and Sandwell eat healthily on a tight budget. Sarah Ventre, a Birmingham mother and volunteer, witnessed firsthand the struggles families faced during the Covid pandemic while delivering food to thousands in need.
