Some children don’t get to be kids. They arrive at shelters like Bay Area Turning Point and The Bridge Over Troubled Waters, carrying burdens no child should ever have to bear — leaving behind their homes, their routines, and often their sense of joy.

That’s why our Bay Area Service Teens are on a mission to change that.

Through our Crafted with Care philanthropic program, teens make holiday and celebratory mementos — thoughtfully handmade gifts designed to remind every child that they are seen, celebrated, and matter.
