As a Twin Cities distribution site for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots, we help parents/guardians sign up for free toys for their children in November and then they return for two days in December to pick out toys for their children. Volunteers help with distribution and make happy holidays for our diverse community.
We are looking for 14 volunteers for each of these shifts:
Friday 12/20, 2:30pm-7pm for distribution
Saturday 12/21 8am-12pm for distribution
Saturday 12/21 11:30am-3:30pm for distribution and clean up
14 Volunteers per shift will do these tasks:
2 volunteers to help with registration or handing out numbers
8 volunteers to help as parent escorts through the toy rooms
4 volunteers to help restock toy tables, lifting up to 25 pound boxes
Refreshments will be provided. We will be meeting at NorthPoint Human Services, 1256 Penn Avenue North, 5th Floor. This address is at the corner of Penn and Plymouth Avenues in North Minneapolis and the building includes a FREE parking ramp. The driveway entrance is at the corner of Plymouth and Oliver Avenues. Volunteers will check in with the volunteer manager for their assignments.
Youth 14-17 years old can volunteer when accompanied by an adult and with prior parental written permission form completed.
Volunteers will complete a volunteer application to register for this event.
This is a great volunteer opportunity for individuals and groups around the holidays!

Mission Statement
Actively partnering to create a healthier community. We envision NorthPoint Health and Wellness Center as a highly desirable place for healthcare: Where people of all traditions receive culturally-appropriate human services and clinical health care. Where best practices of prevention, primary care, and complimentary care are infused into an integrated health and human services approach. Where an emphasis on teaching and supporting healthy lifestyle choices weaves NorthPoint into the total fabric of the community. Health education, proper nutrition, and self-reliance are promoted in appealing ways. Service expands beyond the original facility walls and is provided to teens, and single adults, as well as to families. Where the welcoming and caring atmosphere created by the professional health care staff, clinic staff, and human services staff and volunteers exceed patient and client expectations for expertise and adaptability.
