STEP UP
AND
SAVE OUR BARRELS

CRITICAL NEED:

We are at risk of NOT HAVING BARREL DRIVES this year if we cannot secure a Barrel Coordinator in the next 2-3 weeks. This position keeps track of all of the who, when and where info on the barrels. All work can be done from home with an excel spreadsheet (already created) and a phone. We have a team in place to transport the barrels; just need someone to keep the data up to date.

PLEASE CONTACT US ASAP IF YOU CAN FILL THIS IMPORTANT POSITION

CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS

The Johnson County Christmas Bureau Holiday SHOP is fast approaching and we need amazing volunteers to help! We are planning a traditional Holiday SHOP where clients may do their own shopping. Face masks will be required. SHOP dates are Friday Dec 3rd - Saturday Dec 11th. 
All volunteer roles require a lot of walking and some roles require heavy lifting up to 30 pounds. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes and for outside roles wear weather appropriate clothing. This year volunteers will be able to sign up for specific roles, as described on the sign-up form.
We look forward to partnering with you again this year because we could not carry out our mission or have a successful SHOP without invaluable volunteers like you!
SHOP Volunteer Sign-Ups will be live
on our website in early October.
