Aloha Maui!!
Project Hawai’i, Inc. is celebrating it's 3rd annual Christmas Event for our homeless children across the island. We are so grateful to be able to create a fun day of arts, crafts, visit from Santa's elves and gifts for our homeless children.
This years party will be hosted outside once again in a location to be given upon sign up approval for the protection of our children.
We are seeking the following volunteer coordinators to assist with the needed supportive projects at the party.
ALL VOLUNTEERS WILL NEED TO:
- Provide all needed supportive supplies for their project
-
Bring a folding table to conduct their project on. and the park has no shade, no tables./chairs, so highly recommended a pop up tent.
-
Be on time to set up their station and break down afterwards
-
Limited to 3 people or one family per project table. We can not accommodate groups of larger sizes.
-
Dress as ELVES!! Be creative with fun holiday socks, red or green dresses/shorts, fun aprons, holiday hats, adornments, etc. The children are coming to Santa's Workshop expecting to see elves not humans. This is MANDATORY that everyone is an elf!!
-
NO PHOTOGRAPHY of any kind is to be taken. We will provide you with photos of the event with appropriate photos for your use. For privacy NO photos to be taken on your cell phones.
VOLUNTEER coordinator openings:
- Craft Coordinator. Easy crafts such as pony beads and pipe cleaners to make Christmas shapes, precut wooden or thick paper ornaments to decorate with pens/crayons, etc. Due to the weather and wind, no cutting, small papers, or other items that need to dry like glue.. Glue sticks are finehan a topping.
Provide each child with a paper plate to decorate on. - Cookie Decorating Coordinator: Prepare 48-60 sugar cookies in Christmas shapes for children to decorate. Provide simple icing and little finger approved toppings, such as chocolate chips, gummy bears, m&m, etc. The small sprinkles seem to make a mess more than a topping.
Provide each child with a paper plate to decorate on. - Gratitude Card Making: Provide the opportunity for the children to thank Santa with small cards for them to decorate. We use these cards to thank the donors like you. You will need to provide box for the children to submit their cards to Santa once they finish. Provide post card size (1/4 of construction paper size), crayons, stickers, markers. Children can make more than one, please prepare 100
- Christmas Tree Coordinator: Volunteer to provide a FAKE tree for the event, decorate with simple balls and garland. Nothing fancy, no lights. Provide a large table cloth or red cloth to allow the children to sit on and open gifts with the elves. Be able to set up and take down.
- Photographer for Event: We are seeking a photographer to take the candid photos of the children as they open gifts, play with elves, make crafts, etc. Also of our volunteers set up, conducting their projects, etc. An overall story of the event to share with our donors. ALL photos will be transferred to our iphone or memory card turned over. All photos are property of Project Hawai’i, Inc.
We can work out any you would like to use for your own portfolio.
- Snack Coordinator: Volunteer to host the snack table. Healthy snacks for children to grab as they play. Finger foods, apple slices, carrot sticks, crackers, gold fish, etc. Juice boxes or water bottles. We have found small cups are easier for children to put their snacks and not spill/tip. You can help them choose what they like as well. Please choose 3 items in 50 servings.
- Lunch Coordinator: Volunteer would bring 50 to go lunches for the children to take with them. PB&J sandwich, a snack and drink option.
