Day 14: Volunteers get into the Christmas Spirit

Christmas Day last year started before dawn for a particularly hardy group of volunteers. Wanting to make Christmas a more special and more personal experience for our guests, they lovingly assembled individual gift bags for distribution in the dining room later that day. Each gift bag also included a warm, hand-knit scarf or hat.

Knowing that our volunteers will go the extra mile for our guests – and put themselves to real inconvenience – makes us feel humbled and proud. Their special effort made all the difference to our guests at Christmas and throughout the year. To learn about fun volunteer opportunities like this why not follow us on Twitter @StAnthonySF ?
