Gift Wrapper, Chadds Ford, PA

Save to Favorites

Volunteers will take and keep track of donors gifts, wrap nicely, and make sure all gifts taken in are given back to correct person and look nicely wrapped, labeled with correct recipient. This helps bring more donors in during a time we need blood in December. Outcome is that donors are happy with the wrapping, gifts look great, more donors come in December, and volunteers have fun doing this activity.
