On behalf of The CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish 2010, thank you for your interest in volunteering for our 44th season!
What?
We will need help with filling toy orders, unpacking donations, organizing the warehouse, loading and unloading of deliveries and maintenance of a clean and safe work environment. As we work for a short, intense period of time, volunteers must be willing to participate in all of these essential activities that are necessary to assist in the receipt and distribution of donations to the hundreds of agencies that we are committed to assisting each year.
When?
Our program runs from Monday, November 22nd to Thursday, December 23rd, 2010 at Noon; however, we will be in need of volunteers from November 8th to Dec 22nd.
2010 WAREHOUSE HOURS OF OPERATION for Volunteers:
Monday to Friday - 9:30 am - 1:00pm AND 1:30 - 5:00 pm (2 shifts)
All Saturday and Friday Evenings spots for volunteers have been completely filled.
Where?
The CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish headquarters and warehouse is located at 1366 Blundell Road, Mississauga.
Why?
There are many in need over the holiday season, so be a part of the amazing team that helps to 'give a kid a Christmas.'
Who?
Every year, with the assistance of many volunteers, the CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish helps give a happier holiday season to hundreds of thousands of individuals and families in need. The CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish would not be the success it is without the ongoing help of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers!
Please note: Space is limited. Group sizes may be limited depending upon warehouse requirements. ALL volunteers MUST be scheduled so as to promote a productive, safe and fun environment and experience. As the nature of the work we undertake can vary from day to day, volunteer time scheduled is not ‘guaranteed' and may have to be cancelled or rescheduled as the needs of the program evolve.
Adults - All adult volunteers will be required to sign a Volunteer Acknowledgement / Release form on behalf of themselves and any minors volunteering with them. (A maximum of three (3) minors per adult volunteer will be allowed). Please download and fill in the form to speed up the registration process on your volunteer day.
As it is a working warehouse environment, this volunteer activity is not for children under 12 years of age.
Volunteers under 18 years of age - For reasons of safety and productivity, an adult must accompany, supervise and work with anyone under the age of 18 who would like to volunteer. Sorting donations and filling toy requests is a great opportunity for families to spend time together during the weeks before the holidays, while helping children in need!
Students - Students and minors must be accompanied by an adult volunteer. (Max 3 minors per adult) Students wishing to accumulate community service hours will be granted those hours, at the discretion of the Wish Warehouse staff, if the student has been observed making a committed effort to contribute to the success of our program. Students who are not providing community service hour forms from their schools must download and fill out the CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish Community Service Hours form, and bring it with them each time they volunteer (we do not track hours on behalf of the students).
How?
Please register on-line, on or after, October 26, 2010 to schedule a date and time for you to help out. You may register here now. Registrations will be processed in the order that they are received.
