Volunteer Opportunity: Santa's Helpers Anonymous

December 08, 2020 1:28 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

Elves,
Thanks so much for your help last year! For those that didn’t, this is your opportunity!

Santa's Helpers Anonymous will provide sensitive, targeted, and direct aid to 1,000 families in need across the greater Baltimore area this Christmas. Santa's Helpers Anonymous depends on the generosity of individuals volunteering a little bit of their time to make a huge difference in the community. Our efforts are 100% volunteer supported and our growth has only occurred because of the hundreds of “elves” that donate money and dedicate their time to wrapping gifts, loading boxes of food, and making deliveries Christmas Eve morning. https://www.santashelpersanonymous.org/ is the site for more information.

Santa needs your help, elves!
I am asking for drivers Christmas Eve morning.
This year, regrettably, because of Covid, we will NOT be meeting at Ashland Café for breakfast first. But Santa asked me to gather elves to deliver meals, lots of them. So like last year, DO NOT SIGN UP THROUGH THE SITE!! Usually we have 12 – 15 cars. Now, we can have unlimited number of drivers, since there is no breakfast planning involved. So please send this to your friends and ask them to participate!

What I Need from You to Sign Up.

As last year, let me know your car make and size. This lets us know how many meals and gifts you can fit into your car. (Usually 3-4 families)
Provide your cell phone number.
Provide your email.

What to expect

When you arrive at the site, by 9:15 AM Xmas Eve, Covid safety efforts will be enforced. Masks required. 
(Pick up will be in Sparks. 14600 York Road, Sparks, MD. You can’t miss it.)

You will need to have a driver and a helper. That is mandatory. Meals and presents are a lot to carry and can be heavy! Plus you need a copilot.
Elves will direct you to the appropriate location for pick up. 
You will then pick up your list of families and list of foods and gifts to load into your car.
You will help place the meals into your car. Elves will assist you if needed. 
The list of deliveries is usually in relatively close proximity, geographically. You do not have to take meals and gifts into house. You just deliver to the porch or front steps. Knock on door to let the folks know it is delivered. If no reply, you will be provided with a phone number to leave a message. If no response, leave them there.
When you are finished, you go home. Time averages 1-2 hours depending on location.
As you leave to head home for Xmas after the last delivery, you will inevitably experience a sense gratitude for your gifts in life and a feeling of satisfaction that you helped 3-4 families have a positive Xmas experience. It is a win-win situation.

If you choose to help, I will get back to you with additional specifics before the event. Let me know ASAP.

Thanks for your help,

Mark Fitz-Patrick
