It takes more than 5,000 volunteers to make the Christmas Angel program a success!

My 21 yr old son and I are very interested in volunteering. I work full time as office mgr. however my son is still unemployed and would like to help in the community rather than stay home all day. All three listed Aug 10 volunteer opportunities would be perfect. My son is interested in the physical therapy field, prefers outside work, stocking and is very good with children. Please email or call us as soon as possible. thank you 480-755-0809
