Volunteers are needed to help families at the Families Forward Bidwell Pantry sign up to receive new toys, stocking stuffers, and blankets at our Holiday Toy Pantry.
Volunteers will help parents sign up for a time on our paper schedule and then fill out a reminder for the family with the date and time to come choose gifts for their children. (No computer use required. Each family will have a print out with their name on it.)
Volunteers are needed Monday through Friday between November 3rd through November 14th.
Shifts are:
- 10:00am - 12:00pm
- 12:00pm - 2:00pm
- 2:00pm - 4:00pm
