As many of you know, our founder and executive director will be moving back to North Carolina to be the primary caregiver for her mother. To help offset her absence, we reached out for volunteers through mail, email, and social media. Many of you stepped forward, and for that, we are truly grateful.

Unfortunately, gaps remain that are broad enough that TAG cannot have short‑term success or long‑term sustainability. After much conversation, deliberation, and discussion, our board of directors has made the difficult decision that TAG must close.

Our final day of celebrating birthdays with free gifts, books, cards, and more will be Friday, October 23rd. If you or a loved one is a youth, I/DD individual, or senior who lives in Polk County, qualifies for federal assistance, and has a birthday between now and the end of the year, please stop by our storefront to select your items.

To accommodate more need, we will be open Tuesday–Friday from 1 PM to 5 PM until our last day. Delivery service will be available for those unable to come to us. To schedule a delivery, please call 971‑289-6358 during our open hours.

It has been a true honor and joy to bring our unique mission to Polk County. Because of donors, partner agencies, and especially our volunteers, we have celebrated over 3,300 birthdays since opening our doors on June 5, 2018. We cannot fully express our gratitude for the support and generosity shared with us over the years.

Thank you to everyone who helped build our foundation and to all who helped us soar. Together, we made a difference in the lives of others and brought joy to so many on their special day.
