Totes for Teens 2021

I began Totes for Teens with the simple goal of spreading a little love and joy during the holiday season. I was moved by an article read in 2011 (which feels like forever ago) detailing the challenges that charitable organizations face providing appropriate gifts for teens during the holiday season. As a teen myself at the time, I knew I could help identify gifts that could brighten the holidays for kids my age in my community.

Now, a decade later, I’m proud to say that we have distributed over 450 tote bags full of gifts and holiday cheer. None of this would be possible without the incredible generosity of people like you, and the great partnership I have had with the Bridgewater Cares charitable organization.

But we are not done yet! The last decade has reaffirmed my belief that the act of giving is contagious and a great way to spread love during this special time of the year. As Totes for Teens celebrates its tenth year, I ask you to join us to help spread the joy of giving and the love of the holiday season with a donation to our cause.

Donations can be made through our gofundme page. Should you choose to mail us a check, please reach out directly at [phone redacted].

Thank you very much for your continued support in this journey and for all you have done for less fortunate teens during the holidays.
