From the comfort of your own home volunteer to make a Teen Activity Bag to support a teen facing a critical illness.
COVID-19 challenges everyone's daily lives, including the lives of families who have a teen with a critical illness. By volunteering you help provide families with the care they need as they try to cope with their teen's medical crisis during this pandemic.
Teens who are spending long days in the hospital welcome activities they can do alone and with family members. We invite you to make Teen Activity Bags that are gender neutral, for a teen male or for a teen female.
Choose to make 1 Teen Activity Bag or 5, 10 or more. Every week we receive requests from teens and their families for these bags.
Note: If you are doing this activity because you require volunteer service hours, they are typically calculated as follows: 1 hour for the first bag and 15-20 minutes for each additional bag.
Please wear gloves and a mask while making the bag(s).
Every bag we receive is quarantined before it is delivered to a family.
Include others in your experience!
Invite family members, friends, coworkers, students or faith community members to participate with you, virtually or in socially-distanced small groups.

Mission Statement
The mission of There With Care is to provide a wide range of meaningful and fundamental services to families and children during the critical phase of a medical crisis. We serve families referred by medical agencies, by building a network of services and people who ease the burden of life's day-to-day obligations with compassion and care.
Description
The Bay Area Chapter was created in 2011, seven years after the founding chapter opened in Colorado. There With Care receives referrals from medical social workers at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Mission Bay, San Francisco. When a family receives a medical diagnosis of critical illness for their child, There With Care connects with the family and engages community members and organizations to volunteer to help ease the stress of their day-to-day life activities.
For information on the experiences of families and children facing critical illness; There With Care's programs and services, and ways to participate and support families, please visit our website: therewithcare.org (Select the "Bay Area" location.
