Events

Bright Blessings first began in 2005 as a monthly birthday program for children staying at the Salvation Army Center of Hope in Charlotte, North Carolina. The organization's founders, John and Amy Cervantes, wanted to help brighten the lives of needy children while also instilling a love and commitment for community service in their own young children. What started as a family project to celebrate homeless and impoverished children on their birthday has grown in ways we could not have imagined.

Thanks to the helping hands and hearts of every volunteer, Bright Blessings will reach more than 25,000 homeless and impoverished children this year.  Donations of time and talent are critical to the success of our mission, and we hope you will consider getting involved to help make a difference for kids in need.
