Turn birthday celebrations into a force for good through ECHOage.
When you use ECHOage for your child’s birthday, guests donate instead of giving gifts. Half the donation goes to a gift for the birthday child, and the other half supports a charity like Second Harvest.

You track donations on your ECHOage tracker.
Split funds
After the party, you’ll receive half the funds for a gift for your child and the other half will help feed people facing food insecurity across Canada.
Check out this helpful one-page resource filled with food rescue fun — games, facts and suggested ways to talk to kids (and other parents!) about saving food and the planet.
“I support Second Harvest because it gives people food — people that need food. Just because people don't have money doesn't mean that they don't deserve healthy food.” For her birthday, Ella wanted a DIY canopy bed because she likes the way it looks and Princesses in the movies have it!
“I chose Second Harvest because there are kids who don't have enough food to be able to have breakfast before school. You need to eat breakfast so that you can learn in class without having a stomachache.” For his birthday, Eitan wanted an iPad because he can take it around with him and it has a big screen.
“I chose to support Second Harvest because a lot of people can’t afford enough food for their family, and they deserve to go to bed with a full stomach. If I donate to this charity, it will help other people and this makes me feel good because I am making them happy.” For his birthday, Thomas wanted Warhammer figures and a Percy Jackson book, his favourite series — it's funny, action-packed and full of Greek mythology.
