Help spread holiday cheer as a volunteer as a gift wrapper
Mary Potter Hospice
Estimated Time: 1 - 7 Hours Over 1 - 1 Days
Mary Potter Hospice hosts an annual gift wrapping fundraising event from Saturday 7 December through to Tuesday 24 December. It's all about wrapping gifts & spreading the cheer of Christmas. We strategically place ourselves outside book stores to help make wrapping easier - rectangle books are the best! However, we do wrap all gifts, no matter where they are purchased from. And we do this all for a gold coin donation. There are two gift wrapping stations. One on Lambton Quay outside Whitcoulls, & the other outside Unity Books on Willis Street. We are seeking a minimum of two people per table up to the 20th, & then 3 people per table from the 21st to the 24th. We'd love to have a team take over a table for a day, join the festive cheer & contribute to a great cause. If you have a team interested, please apply stating your preferred dates. "We could not achieve the financial results without the assistance of you (the volunteer), by supporting our cause to keep palliative care free!"

What We Have In Place
Rules and regulations already put in place:
Wrapping of gifts is done for a suggested gold coin donation per item. We are also selling Strawberry Angels, Raffle tickets and Christmas cards.
Staff will be there to set up the table at the start of each day. You can feel free to wear your work shirt so people know who is supporting us. A Mary Potter Hospice collection bib will be provided to volunteers, please wear this on top. Extra points for those who wear Christmas hats and tinsel as it attracts more customers!
Lots of Christmas wrapping paper and everything else you need will be provided! You will become an expert at wrapping presents as a result and help a great local cause! If you are stuck for what to buy for your loved ones, then this will provide you some great ideas!
