News release
JCI Santa Clarita is seeking volunteers to support its annual Santa’s Helpers program, a community tradition that brings holiday joy to children and families in need throughout the Santa Clarita Valley, the organization said in a news release.
With hundreds of toys to sort, wrap and deliver, volunteers play a vital role in creating a magical holiday experience for local families facing hardship, the release said.
This year’s volunteer opportunities run through Friday, Dec. 12. Community members can sign up for gift sorting and wrapping shifts, help decorate the event space, or assist with organizing donations. Volunteers are also needed on Transport Day, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Friday, to move gifts to the distribution site.
“Santa’s Helpers is only possible because of the incredible generosity of our community,” JCI Santa Clarita’s release said. “Every hour volunteered helps us reach another child who deserves to feel the magic of the holidays.”
In addition to volunteering, residents are encouraged to donate brand new, unwrapped toys or shop from curated wish lists found at www.SantasHelpersSCV.com. There, you can also sign up to volunteer.
Businesses and organizations interested in hosting donation boxes are also welcome to participate. For more information, contact JCI Santa Clarita at [email protected].
