Call for Volunteers

MOMS is looking to recruit a Coordinator and a number of Santa's Elves to volunteer by helping during the gift drop-off and pick-up weeks in December. It is a wonderful chance to be a part of the magic and witness the generosity, love, and cheerfulness that thrives during the holiday season.
