TEACH KIDS THE JOY OF GIVING WITH ECHOAGE

Turn birthday celebrations into a force for good through ECHOage.

How does echoage work?

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.

  • 1

    Register
    Register with ECHOage and choose a party invitation.

  • 2

    Manage guests RSVP and donation online
    You track donations on your ECHOage tracker.

  • 3

    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.

Planning a birthday party?

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.

Rio

Rio celebrated her 9th birthday with an ECHOage skating party, raising $145. She donated half to Second Harvest, providing 145 meals, and is saving the rest for something big. Rio chose Second Harvest because she believes in supporting those who lack food. Thank you, Rio, for your generosity!

Bronwyn

For her 8th birthday, Bronwyn celebrated at the Toronto Climbing Academy, raising $60 for Second Harvest, providing 120 meals. She used the rest of her birthday money to buy climbing gear. Bronwyn chose to support Second Harvest through an ECHOage party because she believes in helping those who are hungry. Thank you, Bronwyn, for your generosity! We’re thrilled to have you as a Food Rescue Ranger!

Cole

Cole has really made a commitment to helping people who don’t have enough food. Not only has Cole hosted two ECHOage parties and chosen Second Harvest as his charity, he’s also been involved in food drives at his school. For his 9th birthday party, Cole and his friends went trampolining and had a great time! His birthday present? A skateboard and helmet. Thank you, Cole, for being a two-time Food Rescue Ranger!

Ronin’s gift helped feed 575 people.
Now he’s sending joy your way!
