Volunteers 2023

Thank you for your willingness to volunteer for the HRRCP!

 

We have had an OUTPOURING of people in 2022 wanting to help. Our community is AMAZING. 

 

Join hundreds of other volunteers during the week of December 11th at Hood River County Fairgrounds.  Whether it's packing food boxes or helping assist clients, it's a special way to serve the community.  Hood River County Christmas Project has been helping others for 100 years.  Will you be part of the joy this year?

​

If you are ready to sign up, FIRST please take a look at available volunteer jobs and time slots right here:  Volunteer Job Openings

Next: Fill out the Volunteer Registration Form. 

​

If the volunteer job you wanted has been filled, please choose a different opportunity.  Thank you for being willing to share in making Christmas brighter for others in 2023.

-Hospitality Organizers: Will be first to arrive each day and unlock the building. Get coffee and hot water started each day; purchase and bring up food each morning for volunteers.  Will be needed from about 7am - 8:30am M-Sa of distribution.

​

Fairgrounds Support and Clean-Up Committee Head:

This person is the contact with the Fairgrounds staff.  He/she is responsible for any organizational issues around the Fairgrounds.  He/she lets the Volunteer Coordinator know how many people are needed for Saturday/Sunday “wrap-up” - handling the return of any undistributed food items to either the stores for credit or to FISH for a receipted donation, packing up chairs and tables, etc. 

 

​

Volunteer Organizers:  We need some people to handle outreach at a number of places:  the domestic violence shelter, the Shelter Services on Oak Street, and our Fairgrounds Operations during distribution.  Some jobs involve meeting with shelter managers and registering clients; at the Fairgrounds you help make sure volunteers know where they're assigned and get them set up.
