!!!!CALTRAIN HOLIDAY TRAIN - MOUNTAIN VIEW STATION ONLY!!!!!
Be Santa's elf for an evening and get into the holiday spirit! Help us collect toy donations at Mountain View Station as the Caltrain Holiday Train makes its way south. This is a great opportunity for families and small groups.
In partnership with SamTrans, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation and the U.S. Marines Toys for Tots, the Holiday Train is coming your way again this season!
A small train decorated with thousands of lights will make its way from SF to Santa Clara stopping at each Caltrain platform for a 15 min. performance including a sing-a-long from a band and choir, a snow machine blasting out onto the platform, characters in costume will visit with the crowd (Santa, Frosty, etc) AND new toy collection!
Volunteers will arrive at Mountain View station before the train arrives to assist in arranging toy collection barrels and signs. Volunteers will also direct families/guests where to donate their new toys, and helping to return toys and barrels to Salvation Army vehicles.

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.
