Donating Holiday Gifts for Teens is Rewarding

taken from Campbell times:

With the holidays less than two months away, one segment of the low income population that are often forgotten are the teens.

We often get toys for younger children and the teenagers are left out.

In California, a volunteer group called "Gift for teens" is doing just that---donating gifts to low income teenagers.

“Gifts for Teens is a wonderful experience,” said Benson, who is looking forward to the week long project of sorting and packing the items at Sacred Heart Community Service [SHCS]. “This project is so worthwhile and donations are key.”

Almaden’s Norma Faulkner is doing the same collecting makeup, nail polish stuffed animals, photo albums, and cosmetic bags for the teen girls’ bags.

“There’s a group of women who knits scarves and another who made 100 bead bracelets,” said Faulkner. “It’s very satisfying project to work on. The teens are often forgotten.”

After the donated items are received or purchased they are assembled at SHCS by the community and the sponsoring organization, the American Association of University Women [AAUW]-San Jose Branch volunteers. SHCS’s teen clients, as well as the Bill Wilson Center and EHC Lifebuilders are recipients of Gifts for Teens.
