🎁 Gift Delivery - Warm Winter Wishes ☃️
Details
Description
The Warm Winter Wishes gift donation program (formerly Claus for a Cause) is the Amherst Senior Center's annual effort to spread cheer during the holiday season. Between input from Senior Center staff and the community, we create a list of about fifty individuals we'd like to reach. This can be anyone - those who may have limited resources, be alone for the holidays, or just anyone who we'd like to remind we are thinking of them! We then check in with everyone to make sure they'll be around to accept their gift, and when it's time to deliver, that's where you come in!
Friendly delivery volunteers are needed on Thursday, December 17th and Friday, December 18th. Timing is flexible; there will be an option for both morning and afternoon deliveries on each day. Each delivery person will be given a route of 4-5 deliveries. One route should only take about an hour, as we will do our best to group deliveries based on their location. Gift recipients will be notified of deliveries prior to delivery day.
A vehicle is required for most delivery routes, but we will need a couple volunteers to deliver to the surrounding housing complexes the via walking route, so please don't let lack of vehicle stop you from signing up! A basic CORI background check will be run on all volunteers.
