Time to put Christmas Storybook Land to bed!

Having coworkers volunteer as a “group” is a great way to build teams while helping the local community. Contact us to bring your team.
Come during whatever time works for you and bring your friends! Snack breaks are offered in the morning and afternoon shifts, and a free lunch is available at noon.
Youth from high schools, middle schools, scouts, and other youth organizations are encouraged to participate. A volunteer work validation form is available so youth may receive community service hours for their effort.
