Every year, our organization opens a Full Service Gift Wrapping store in a Vegas Mall. However, this year, we were presented with an even better opportunity. We have a pop-up store in the Water Street Disctrict, which gives us the opportunity to work with another group that will have 2 weekends of pop-up shopping for the community. Our store is definitely a pop-up winter wonderland.

We are known to create a fun themed holiday spot, one where people have brought their dogs to take photos in front of over the years.

We are requesting experienced wrappers, but we always welcome volunteers eager to learn. Since we are already open, we can train volunteers when they come in. In past years we had training days, prior to opening. We do have a special way that we wrap, so even if you know how to wrap, we suggest paying attention to our training to learm some of our tips and tricks to wrapping. :-)

Kids under 16 must be accopanied by an adult. We do allow all ages to help, but do request that you keep your phones in your bags, while volunteering. We do sign off on service hours, so clubs are welcome and encouraged. Ifyou come for a training day, we do not sign off on hours, but we will sign off on any hours you do after training.

We work as a team and help one another. No Hate speech is allowed. We welcome people who want to dress up for the holidays as well! We have an AMAZING NEW LOCATION in the Water Street DIsctrict. Generally we have 4 hour shifts. And if you need community service hours, we request that you NOT cram all your hours in one day, please space your time out, so we have your help longer.

We do need help setting up and decorating our store, would you like to add tour creative spirit to our spot? This is where creatives come into play, please help us create a winter wonderland on a low budget for our spot. We will also need to clean up and pack our store 12/24 (after our shift) and move out on 12/25 (we know these are difficult days to request help, but if you're available we'd love your help!) to get it back into storage.

We would love some Social media gurus who can help spread the word about our cause, fundraiser and pop-up store.

Thank you for your interest. Please make sure to tell us about you and why you'd like to be involved.

Description

There are more side effects that are making a cancer patients’ quality of life even more difficult. These side effects include but are not limited to brain damage, memory problems, infertility, degenerative disc disease, deterioration of teeth & jaw bones, congestive heart failure, and post traumatic stress disorder!
