ORGANIZATION: Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County



Are you looking for an easy way to get into the holiday spirit this year?

Our Adopt a Family program helps over 500 local families have a wonderful Christmas season!

This project is powered by volunteers and we need your help at our donation center with intake of donations, sorting donations, and making sure that gifts make it into the hands of the agencies that will be delivering holiday packages to families this year. Please note that most of the donations come in pre-wrapped, so we typically don't wrap many gifts.

Volunteer Tasks Include:

helping donors with curbside drop-off - unloading cars and bringing packages inside

greeting donors and checking in gifts - seated at a the check-in table and completing donation paperwork

taking inventory and making sure all gifts are sorted and labeled so they get the the right child

We recommend this project for kids over 10 - as it is sometimes difficult for younger kids to spend so much time in the warehouse.

Projects for each Day:

Saturday, Dec 7 - Set up, Gift Intake and Inventory

Sunday, Dec 8 - Gift Intake and Inventory

Monday, Dec 9 - Gift Intake and Inventory

Tuesday, Dec 10 - Gift Intake and Inventory, Assembling bikes

Wednesday, Dec 11 - Gift Sorting and the FIRST Gift wrapping day

Saturday, Dec 14 - Gift Sorting and the LAST Gift wrapping day
