What Bay Area Cares Pack Can Do
We believe love can change the world.
Love gives us hope, courage, and comfort. It changes the way we think, the way we act, even how we feel about ourselves. It encourages us to be better and do better for ourselves and our loved ones.
This is exactly why we have made it our mission to show the less fortunate how loved they are. It is our mission to give them hope and make them smile, something we are all deserving of and could use this year especially.
On December 23rd, we will be donating stuffed backpacks filled with essential items to our local, homeless men, women and children.
Will you join us?
Help us spread love this holiday season to the less fortunate. Show your community what LOVE has the power to do.
Change the world through action. Change the world through love.
