Share the joy of giving! Become a "personal shopper" to parents of families in need as they choose new gifts for their children through our own Toy & Joy Shop.
With the help of hundreds of volunteers we are able to transform the San Francisco Kroc Center into a toy store where we distribute brand new donated toys to families who have little or no resources to make Christmas a joyous time for their families.
Volunteers are needed to help these families in choosing these gifts in the role of "personal shoppers". Other volunteers will be asked to restock and reassemble the toy tables, assist in check-out, check-in, greeters, kid wranglers, crowd control etc.
Shifts are 3 hours in length (with a 30 minute arrival time prior to the start of the shift to allow for orientation and staffing shift changes). Volunteers must be 16 years or older to participate. They must be able to stand for the duration of their shift.
Shifts: 11:30am - 2:30pm; 2:30pm - 5pm.
ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST REGISTER AND SELECT THEIR SHIFTS BY VISITING THIS LINK https://volunteer.usawest.org/OpportunityDetail.aspx?ID=3383 (cut and paste into a browser window). Thank you! This helps us manage our staffing for the event and allows volunteers to select their shift and take care of volunteer waivers.
We plan to serve approximately 3000 kids during this event and can't do it without your help.

Description
The Salvation Army was established in London in 1865, and since 1883 has been serving the San Francisco Bay Area, offering practical support, spiritual comfort and a critical safety net to people in need. The safety net is funded in part by donations from the Red Kettle Campaign which started in San Francisco in 1891. Nearly 600,000 San Franciscans receive assistance from the Army annually through a range of social services; clothing and shelter for the homeless, food for the hungry, opportunities for underprivileged children, alcohol rehabilitation, transitional housing, nutritional and housing support for seniors and relief for disaster survivors. For every dollar donated to The Salvation Army, 82 cents is used to support those services in the 16 facilities throughout San Francisco and South San Francisco communities.
