Care Package Program

About this Program

At Teens for Type 1 and 2, we know living with diabetes can bring unique challenges for kids and their families. Our Care Packages Program was created to bring comfort, joy, and encouragement to pediatric diabetes patients.

Each care package includes a “dream gift” chosen by the child, helping them celebrate a milestone or simply brighten their day. Volunteers personalize every box with items requested by families and thoughtful goodies to lift their spirits.

If you know a child living with diabetes who could use some extra joy, submit a request. We’re here to remind every child they’re cared for and never alone.
