Winter Wish Helpers

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Communities In Schools of Tacoma

Winter Wish is a program that supports around 350 children and families who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability by providing warm coats, blankets, pajamas and other cold-weather necessities during the holiday season. Families are invited to attend a celebration event to enjoy food, festive activities, and get a picture with Santa!

We are in need of volunteers to help the event run smoothly--volunteers can help with a variety of tasks like helping to set up, checking families in to the event, passing out food and beverages, helping to direct families to different activities, and helping with cleanup at the end.
