A wrap shift

Two to three hours, start to finish.

01

Sign in

Hours are logged for students. Coats and bags go on the rack; the room is warm.

02

Take a list

Each child's list arrives with the gifts already shopped. You wrap, tag and bag.

03

Stage it

Bags go on the shelf by caseworker, ready for delivery before Christmas.

04

Come back

Spring grad tubs, prom shop set-up and Emergency Response shopping run all year.

Beyond the wrap table

Eight ways to help all year.

Shoppers and stagers answer the emergency calls, the event team sells tables and builds raffle baskets, and a grant writer, a social-media volunteer and a tech volunteer keep the center running.
