Volunteer for Toys for Tots

Note: Fields marked with an * are required.

This is for you to consider before signing up.  We count on those that register being there as we only ask for what we need.

Here are some things we’ve implemented to help keep our volunteers safe and to support you:

  • Please wear closed toed shoes for safety.
If you don't feel well, please call or email us to let us know you cannot make it.  We will not be able to provide "lunch" as we have in the past, but we will have drinks and hopefully snacks.  If you sign up for a full day, we have scheduled a 30 - 60 minute break in the day to get a meal or you can bring your own.
If you are working on distribution day(s) (Friday and Saturday the 22/23rd), we will have meals provided/served for those of you working multiple shifts, so you do not need to bring a meal/snack on those days.
Descriptions of different volunteering opportunities below.
________________________________________________________________________
Sorters
We need armies of volunteers to help us sort all of the donated toys we receive.  We expect to receive somewhere between 70 and 80 thousand toys to be sorted.  A sorter will look at a toy, determine the appropriate aged child that would like the toy, determine if the toy is gender specific and then place that toy in the box that is labeled with the sorter's age/gender determination.  The sorter will continue this process as long as there are toys to be sorted.
________________________________________________________________________
Gift Bags
We need armies of volunteers to help us prepare gift bags for the children.  Based on the total number of toys received and children anticipated for each age/gender group, a gift bag will be prepared.  This gift bag should be created with the Christmas spirit in the hopes of putting a smile on a child face Christmas morning.  So it is important that the gift bag preparers strive to create bags that will spark joy.    
________________________________________________________________________
Escorts
We need a team of volunteers to deliver gift bags.  The escort will receive a list of children by age and gender and then collect one bag for every child on the list.  The escort will then deliver the gift bag to the trunk/back of car.  The car will basically be in a drive-thru mode.

Warehouse
This job is a little more labor intensive as we look for full boxes to be lifted on to devices and moved.  You will be moving received toys and counted toys and we need good accountability.
SPECIAL NOTE

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us.  We have been inundated early from large groups and last year volunteers that have already filled many of our December volunteer openings.

We will have additional needs between 12/17 and 12/23 that are not yet published.  If you wish to volunteer but you don’t see a shift available that will work for you, please drop us an email at [email protected].
