If you can help us call 247-2682. 



Information volunteers will need to know:

Individual volunteers may drop in at their convenience during hours of operation. Space is limited so groups of 4 or more will to call or email in advance to reserve a date/time. Due to the large number of volunteers, we will sign up groups for a maximum of 2 hour increments. This is to better give opportunity to all those that want to volunteer a date/time slot. If you are scheduled a time slot and are unable to make it, please contact Brown Santa as soon as possible.

An adult must accompany all children under age of 16. A group of  children under the age of 12 will need to have 1 adult per 3 children. Children in age from 12-16 will need 1 adult per 5 children. If children can not drive and provide their own transportation, an adult must accompany them.

The location for Brown Santa is usually a "warehouse" type setting and appropriate clothing must be worn. Enclosed shoes must be worn (no sandals or high heels), bring a jacket or sweater, it may be colder in a warehouse situation than it is cold outside. The buildings donated do not always have heat and air, so dress appropriately.
