Many people assume that, to join Santa's team, you have to travel all the way to the North Pole. Well, we have some good news: it's not true! In fact, you can help Santa right here in Richmond, as a volunteer with the Christmas Fund.
Every year, nearly 100 volunteers contribute over 1,400 hours to the program. They donate their time as registration assistants and toy sorters, as greeters and translators, as line monitors and toy room assistants. In short, they do it all, ensuring that the Christmas Fund can help as many people as possible.
Another Christmas Fund season is almost here, and you can be part of the holiday magic! As always, the program features many fun, rewarding volunteer opportunities, giving you a chance to help out in a way that best suits your skills, interests, and availability.
This year is notable because, for the first time, the Christmas Fund will be located at Lansdowne Centre. As a result, the program will be open for more days and longer hours, which means, in turn, that more volunteer shifts are available. It's a brand new adventure, making it an especially exciting time to join Santa's team!
A complete list of Christmas Fund volunteer opportunities is available below. To learn more about a specific role, simply click the corresponding link. If the position sounds like a good fit, then go ahead and submit an online application!
Each posting will remain up until all shifts for that position are filled. Because we can't predict when that will happen, we encourage you to apply as early as possible. The sooner we receive your application, the sooner we can complete the screening process and you can begin signing up for shifts!
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Christmas Fund. We look forward to working with you, so together, we can help brighten the holidays for our neigbours in need!
