Teens 12-18 deserve something special for the holidays, but sadly they are often overlooked.
Teen Years
The teen years can be challenging, and feeling forgotten during the holiday season can make things even harder. With your help, we can remind disadvantaged teens that they are seen, valued, and cared for.
The Love Fund for Children will identify teens throughout the Kansas City area in both Kansas and Missouri and work with youth advocates to deliver special holiday sacks. Each sack will include necessities such as a snack, water bottle, socks, a hat, gloves, a blanket, and hygiene items, plus a fun gift chosen from one of four themes: Art, Games, Spa, or Sports.
Please join us and help create wonderful memories for special young people this holiday season.
SPONSORSHIP
Join our crucial group of dedicated community partners in sponsoring and packing sacks for teens. Multiple support levels and benefits available.
GIFT DRIVE
Gather a group of co-workers, friends, or neighbors. Select one of the gift themes and host a drive to collect fun items to fill teens sacks.
Make a Donation
Purchase gifts from the Love Fund’s Amazon Wish List, and your donation will ship directly to us. Choose from the most needed items by theme. An easy way to provide an important gift!
The Sack it for Santa program is more than just a holiday initiative; it is a beacon of hope and a reminder to teens that they are not alone. By addressing both material and emotional needs, this program creates ripples of positivity that extend far beyond the holiday season.”
