OK so on the previous post I gave all the information for working up to CHRISTMAS day, but for those who are willing to give up CHRISTMAS morning-- here ya go.
Remember you will be helping over 300 Seniors in the community who do not have family or a lunch & dinner on Christmas Day.--
You can stay for the day or just for 30 minutes or an hour or all day....the option is yours. This is a HURRY up and WAIT kind of a VOLUNTEER event-- so lots of people will pop in and we will not know -- so we will always have an INFLUX of volunteers--
INTRO table- we have two or three people at the INTRO table- this crew needs to be able to describe all the phases of the day and assist with name tags and answering questions.
Our day starts about 8:00am
- setting up tables
-wiping down tables
-cutting cakes & pies
-boxing cakes
-boxing rolls into singles
-opening cranberry sauce
-scooping cranberry sauce
-initialing boxes etc.
DRIVERS:
The people who volunteer to drive usually come early to get a route of people (1 family or 3)- they go fast, but they usually have a lot of LAG time while waiting for the meals to be packaged-
We Start boxing up 9:30-10:00am-- This is where it gets a little chaotic-- we will have people who have volunteered to drive, people who have volunteered to box up food and people who are RUNNERS-- so we ask you in ADVANCE to bring your PATIENCE -- and if you need a second helping of it-- we can get some out of the back room for you.
LOGISTICS TABLE:
This table is very important and requires you to be able to keep count and multi task-- this is very hands on--
We always need people to go through the line to package food-- this line moves a little slow-- so expect delays "ahead"- have fun-- laugh, talk, get to know other people that aren't in your group--
11:00-11:30 INSIDE feeding starts-- this is where it is always great to have people mingle with our guests who have often times been dropped off by drivers and they may need help coming in, may need help sitting down etc.
By 1:00pm-- we are cleaning up and always need help doing that--
WRAPPERS-- so long as we have plenty of gifts donated-- we will be able to have a gift wrapping room. This room usually will run the entire day-- because people will continue to bring items in--
Start 8:30-9:00 am
-gift room wrapping
-separating gifts
EMAIL me if you have questions- about donations, volunteering and anything else.
LOCATION: 904 Crawford Road- Rock Hill, SC 29730
