Holiday Shopping December 7
2024-12-07 07:00 - 11:00
*Volunteers needed for in-person shopping on Saturday, December 7, 2024*
Meijer generously donates a $30 gift card per child within a total limit of $1500 for the event. The Grand Rapids Lions Club donates $95 per child (up up $4750 for 50 children) to set a budget of $125 per gift card for children to spend on their family members.
“Pass the Hat” donations through through collections at Lions luncheons assist in supplementing the cost of having additional children participate. For each $125 collected, an additional child is able to attend.
WHAT: The first shift is designated for the children with visual impairments and begins PROMPTLY at 7:15 a.m. The second group of children begin at 8:30 a.m. when the Base Camp Sabboath children arrive with their staff.
****Due to the large number of children who are being referred, we are looking for at least 35 volunteers or more, if possible, so the ratio would be no more than 2 children to every 1 volunteer.
WHEN: Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024 at 7:15 a.m.- 10:30 a.m.
WHERE: Meijer on 28th & 1-96 in Cascade
Members are welcome to make this a “family event”
and include spouses, children or acquaintances who
are interested in volunteering.
