The Salvation Army: Nashville Area Command - Doing the Most Good
ITS ANGEL TREE  TIME IN
THE SALVATION ARMY!!!
I know you have all be excitedly awaiting the arrival of Angel Tree 2014 and it kicks off in exactly 34 days!! I am now booking volunteers for all stages of the angel tree process (with the exception of Green Hills Mall - which I will be able to do in early October).
I have posted all the opportunities, dates, times, and descriptions below. I should know the warehouse location by the end of the week - but we are 99% sure it will be off of Nolensville Road not far from I440 - It is different from last year however.
Please email which shifts you would like to work. Some have already been filled by those early birds who hit me up over the summer - so don't wait!!

Angel Tree Registration - October 6th -24th, 2014
Angel Tree Registration is where the local families who are needing assistance providing Christmas for their children come to our Angel Tree Warehouse to sign up. We need volunteers to man the 20 registration computers from 9 to noon and 1:30 to 4:30 Monday - Friday (with an additional evening shift on Thursdays from 5:30 to 7:00pm) to get them all taken care of! Last year we registered over 4,000 families over the 3 week registration period so I promise you will be busy. 
We will provide documentation, and a link to the online demo site for our Angel Tree Registration system so that you will be familiar with it before your shift!

Angel Tree Mall Booth Adoptions -
November, 8th - December 6th, 2014
Our Angel Tree Mall Booths are were all those angels we register in October get adopted by our generous donors! Volunteers will distribute Angels from the Angel Tree, keep a record of who the Angel was assigned to, and collect the gifts as they are returned for each Angel. We have booths at Rivergate Mall, Coolsprings Galleria, and The Mall at Green Hills.

Shifts are Monday through Saturday from 10:00am-2:00pm, 2:00pm-6:00pm, 6:00pm-9:00pm; and Sundays 12:00pm-3:00pm and 3:00pm-6:00pm. Two to four volunteers are needed per shift, depending on the date. 
*As stated above, I can book everything but Green Hills at this time, but email me and let me know if you are interested in working there and as soon as I am able to book - I will send out an email!

Angel Tree Warehouse Workers -
October 29th through December 15th, 2014
We will be needing volunteers throughout the months of October, November and December to assist us with a variety of tasks in our Angel Tree Warehouse! 
At the end of October, and throughout November, we will need a few groups and/or individuals to come in and help us with the following tasks:
- Creating Angel Tree Tags for the Mall Booths
- Laying out and organizing our warehouse space
- Creating Angel Tree Family Bag Setups
- Organizing our Forgotten Angel Toy Store
Shifts for the tasks above are available Monday - Friday from 10am to 4pm.
From December 1st through December 6th, I will be taking small groups/individuals of up to 25 per shift to start working their way through returned angel gifts and sorting those into family bags while providing quality control on what has come into the warehouse. Shifts for this week will be Monday - Friday from 10am to 4pm. On Saturday, Dec. 6th, I still have 20 slots open on the 4pm to 8pm shift - all others have been booked. We may schedule an evening shift for this week.
From December 8th through December 15th, we will be taking up to 100 volunteers per shift to do the full Sort, Bag and Tag process (meaning go through every family and angel bag and make sure all are accounted for, have the correct items, and the minimum number of items) and fill in from our Forgotten Angel Toy Store where necessary. Shifts will be Monday - Saturday from 9am to 4pm. We are not open on Sunday, but we will have an evening shift or 2 this week.
Between December 16th and December 18th, 2014, our Angel Tree Families will be returning to our Angel Tree Warehouse to pick up their gifts. We will need 35 people per shift to get this accomplished! The planned shifts are 9am to noon and 1pm to 5pm. This may change based on the number of families who register - we may have to push it later into the evening or add another day of pick ups.
* December 16th is fully booked, but I still have availablity December 17th and 18th.


As stated above - please email me with the area you would like to volunteer
and we will get you on the calendar!
