Santa Bus Volunteers signup sheet

On Tuesday, December 18, 2018, we will conduct our first-ever Gemma's Angels Santa Bus, sponsored by Innovative Coaches and Lowee's Group Tours of Harrisburg at the Interfaith Shelter for Homeless Families, 120 Willow Road, Harrisburg PA 17109.

At 9:30 p.m. (after all the children have visions of sugar-plums dancing in their heads, of course) the parents of the children there will board the coach parked outside and choose toys for their children. Afterward, our volunteers will go into the shelter with the parents and provide free gift paper, supplies and assist as needed with gift wrapping. From there, the toys will be hidden until Santa returns Christmas Eve. Volunteers must be age 15 or older but if under 18, they must be accompanied by an adult.

What we need:

- Volunteers to help pack the coach in Hershey at 8:30 PM (location at 15 East Main Street, Hershey, PA 17033 in the Village of Union Deposit, just north of HersheyPark)

- Volunteers to help staff the coach at 9:30 PM when parents come on board and choose the toys for their children.

- Toys will be separated by age. Volunteers will check the child's names on a list we provide to make certain that they receive the toys they reserved. It will be first-come, first served. Parents are permitted to exchange gifts between themselves for their children THAT NIGHT ONLY.

- Once inside, our volunteers will provide gift wrap, tape, and other supplies. Feel free to help as needed.

- Donations of cookies, Iced tea, and fruit drinks are welcomed.
