Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers Needed for the Montgomery County Christmas Store

The Montgomery County Christmas Store is an all-volunteer, community-wide, nonprofit organization which assists low-income families in Montgomery County during the Christmas season by providing a shopping experience characterized by choice and dignity. Serving families with children is their first priority.

Volunteers are needed to help organize the store on Tuesdays and Saturdays through Dec. 7th.

On Dec. 8,9,10,11, and 12--volunteers are needed to serve as hosts to families shopping at the store. You guide them through the store and help them shop using a point system. This is a very rewarding volunteer experience.

Contact Merilyn Armstrong to help with store set up: magjoejohn@hotmail.com

Contact Mae Hoover to be a host on shopping days: mccs@bburg.bev.net

“After being there on April 16th with my fiance and seeing everything happen with my own eyes my life was changed. As I worked with those girls I had a new found respect for life and the importance of hope.
