Unpacking and organizing our resource center donations 
Tons of boxes of in-kind gifts that need to be unpacked and organized in a way that staff can come in and find what they need for our kids quickly. Any day, any time, anytime of the year.

Organizing Christmas gifts for each of our kids
We have over 400 kids including foster care and outpatient who rely on us for Christmas gifts. We get gifts in bulk, and we need help getting the gifts into big “Santa bags” for each kid, according to what each kid wants.  Then we put them in big piles according to case worker/teacher/therapist so that they can quickly grab the kids’ bags. It’s a ton of organizing.

HOW TO REGISTER
If you are interested in any of these activities, contact Lisa Caminiti (lisa.caminiti@newpath.org) directly.
