Assisteens bring joy to the lives of the elderly and homebound clients of Assistance League of Diablo Valley's TeleCare philanthropy by sending cards and letters.

At holiday time and in the spring, Assisteens host parties for children who are in need and at risk in Contra Costa County. Santa Claus presents gifts made possible by Assisteens' fundraising activities and the Easter Bunny hosts an egg hunt.

In the spring, Assisteens visit the homes of the TeleCare clients bearing giftbaskets filled with afgans, flowers and their favorite snacks. These visits bring the Assisteens closer to their personal TeleCare clients.

Assisteens provide kits for summer campers in need of assistance. The kits include soap, washcloths, cameras and a personal note to the camper.
