Volunteer

 

Thank you! We’re delighted that you’d like to join us in helping give holiday gifts to local children in need.

If your intent is to volunteer to sponsor one or more children, please go to Sponsor a Child to do that.)

And of course you can do both!

The following opportunities are available:

 

  • Join the Core Team (Oct-Dec): email Tim@OperationELF.org
  • Be a local drop-off site (Nov-Dec): email Jeanne@OperationELF.org
  • Join the Transportation Team that takes gifts to Packing Day and delivers them to the Agencies (Dec): email Joy@OperationELF.org
  • Volunteer at PACKING DAY. The work includes checking in every gift to make sure we have them all, that they are complete, organizing them by destination, and loading them onto the trucks.
    Sunday, December 13 from Noon to 4pm
    at the Florence Sawyer School, 100 Mechanic St, Bolton, MA 01740.

Please fill out the form below to indicate your interest. We  use the email list(s) you choose to communicate with you about your chosen volunteer position(s). Operation ELF will never share your identity or contact information to any outside party. Ever. Your contact details will only be used internally to contact you about volunteering, to thank you for your part in making wishes come true, and to invite you to become an ELF again next year!
