TLC@Home Gift Packaging Volunteers

TLC@Home is a Saskatoon grassroots non-profit providing Christmas gifts to approximately 900 Saskatoon’s inner city children every December.

The Role:
– Follow the instructions by collaborating with a small, friendly, compassionate team to assemble gift packages for children from PreK to grade 8.
– Participate in school deliveries, attending at least one session to connect with the cause.

Location
The Centre Mall, adjacent to Ardene’s. Look for the TLC@Home sign.
