Operation ELF is an all-volunteer gift-giving organization that brings hope, joy, and the spirit of the holidays to children who are wards of the state or in transitional living situations: Serving Nashua Children’s Home, Transition House, Jewish Family & Children’s Services, Children’s Services of Roxbury, among others.
Operation ELF New England has a variety of teams that support the various aspects of our holiday giving. We need volunteers with a wide range of skills, but mostly with a willingness to reach out to others in generosity, to share your time and your holiday cheer, and to have a lot of FUN! Some of the things we need help with include:
- Publicity - spreading the word
- Decorations for the event
- Preparing the holiday packages
- Delivering gifts to the charities
- Setting up the event & breaking it down afterwards
- Preparing and serving food at the event
More information on the volunteer opportunities are listed here.

Wish list donations are $50 or less per child. Join our team of ELF volunteers . (Antlers optional!). Bring your family to our annual Operation ELF event

Description
Volunteers are needed with a wide range of skills, but mostly with a willingness to reach out to others, to share your time and your holiday cheer, and to have a lot of FUN! Some of the the help we need includes: event planning, decorating, shopping for gifts, packing, and more.
It’s a party! It’s a donation drop-off site for gently-used kids’ clothing and toys! It’s a potluck dinner! It’s music and face painting! It’s sitting on Santa’s knee! It’s playing a dreidel game. It’s a holiday dinner food drive! It’s a drive for new or gently-used household goods! It’s the place where folks bring the gift(s) to fulfill a child’s wish list
Volunteers produce this event starting weeks in advance. Men and women join forces to gathering requests from the charities, organizing them, and distributing the wish lists to gift sponsors. These giving people go shopping and fill each child’s request, and perhaps do even a little bit more.
Other teams handle decorating the event site, organizing transportation and gift delivery, sorting and packing of everything the day of the event, entertaining the volunteers’ children during the event, and providing a feast to nourish the body while the event nourishes the spirit.
