Additional Information:
Volunteers must form their own group (corporate, civic, school, church, family, etc.) and provide gift bags and small new toys which are then assembled into gift bags at your location. When done, take them to a food shelf or shelter in your community and let us know how many bags you filled and where you took them (contact karen@cheerfulgivers.org). Details are on our website at www.cheerfulgivers.org under "Get Involved"
We also have an assortment of individual volunteer opportunities listed on our website at www.cheerfulgivers.org.
Help spread the news about this unmet need that Cheerful Givers is addressing to all of your contacts!
