TAP Volunteers at Heartfelt Foundation's Annual Christmas Service Project!

***Volunteer spots have been filled! Thank you everyone
Date: Saturday, December 18, 2010
Time:
10:00am - 3:00pm
Location: Heartfelt Foundation
117 Wilshire Blvd
Santa Monica, CA

TAP is very excited to announce that we are supporting the Heartfelt Foundation's Annual Christmas Service Project.

THE HEARTFELT FOUNDATION is sponsoring a Christmas/Holiday party for hundreds of children in-need from ages 1-15 living throughout the greater Los Angeles community.

Last year, more than 1,500 impoverished children and their families attended the event. The event included ponies and a petting zoo, music, entertainm...ent, hot food, cookies and candy, refreshments and ice cream, clowns, music, games and activities, a beautiful Santa's Village, and of course, Santa and toys for every child. 200 volunteers lent their hearts, hands and energy to providing a loving and transformational experience for children in the most desperate of circumstances.

We invite you to volunteer to help us (and Santa) distribute gifts, toys, lead fun activities and bring special cheer to these underprivileged children and their families.

The volunteer shift will be on Saturday, December 18 from 10am - 3pm. Volunteer responsibilities may vary. Only 10 volunteer spots available! First come, first serve basis till spots fill.

***Volunteer spots have been filled! Thank you everyone for your quick responses and interest. We are looking to obtain more spots next year for TAP volunteer with Heartfelt.



Want to help out but can't volunteer? No worries! TAP is also assisting the Heartfelt Foundation with collecting toys for the event! We will be accepting toy donations at our Christmas dinner and various locations. Toys collected will be distributed by volunteers at Heartfelt's Christmas party! Contact michelle.ng@tacl.org if you have toys and are looking for a location to drop them off at!

Questions? Please email Community Projects Chair, Michelle Ng.
