Cafe au Play's Jingle Mingle Holiday Tree Sale (age 16+) *Hands On*

The day after Thanksgiving and through the month of December, SE Portland's Cafe au Play will be transformed into a winter wonderland! Join us to staff our eighth annual Christmas Tree Sale to raise funds to support Café au Play.


Café au Play is a nonprofit community center coffeehouse in SE Portland. The mission of Café au Play is to provide support for children and families by nurturing connections among caregivers and empowering people of all ages to exchange resources. 

We're looking for friendly volunteers, age 16 and older, to help us out during our sale. We suggest that our volunteers please dress in warm, rugged clothing and bring work gloves if you have them. (We will have extra gloves available should you need them).

There are a few different roles for volunteers listed below:
