How You Can Help
Time
Set up and decorating of trees on Friday 12/9 @ AAHS around 3:30-4pm - We could use a handful of people to help us set up and decorate our trees to be used on stage for the show. This is in the PAC at the high school in Alex.
Toy “shopping” Saturday 12/10 at Indigo Signs- We hope for around 30-40 people to fill toy bags from the request sheets from families. You get a list and have to “shop” from the various toys that are divided into age group, to fill toy requests from the families in need. This begins around 9am until finished. Children may come, but need to be supervised by a parent as they “shop”. Cardboard food boxes also can be assembled at this time.
Tear down of the trees and the stage @ AAHS following the telethon on Saturday 12/10- We can always use extra help from anyone who may be a night owl or who is out at the AAHS watching the telethon live, to help us take down ornaments/trees/stage décor following the telethon. This is usually around 10:15pm until finished. The more hands, the better! We truly appreciated the student help on this last year as well!
Food basket packaging and delivery 12/11 at Indigo Signs- This is open to the community/public beginning at 9am. We package up all the food baskets and start deliveries as they are ready. You can come to Indigo Signs in Alexandria and help with the food basket “assembly line”, do deliveries, or both! We give you instructions once you arrive that
Sunday morning. For more details on any of these opportunities, please call (320)-335-2488 or email Becky at beckylynn859@gmail.com
Thanks for your interest in being a part of this GREAT cause!
