Holiday Party with MS Society (age 12+) *Hands On*
Looking for ways to spread some Holiday cheer to the local community? On December 8th, the MS Society of Portland is hosting their annual Christmas Party for Multiple Sclerosis patients, caregivers, and their families. With your help, we can make this event a great success! We are expecting 100-125 guests as we celebrate the Holiday Season. For many of these people, this is the only event they will attend for the holidays. I've been volunteering at this event for more than fifteen years and it's one of the most rewarding events we do.
Volunteers are also invited to enjoy the traditional holiday meal! Please be prepared for a bit of downtime in between tasks.
This is a long but very rewarding day! We will:
· Set up tables, chairs, and decorations
· Welcome guests as they arrive (including in the parking lot)
· Sign-in guests as they enter the building
· Help guests use the elevator
· Offer food and drinks while mingling with guests
· Help serve food to guests at their tables
· Help guests navigate the space in their mobility devices
· Help guests to their vehicles or Lift rides after the event
· Help with cleanup
Children ages 12+ with an adult may also volunteer. Due to limited facility/event space, only registered volunteers can attend; please do not bring additional guests. Volunteers are welcome to sign up for more than one shift.
The MS Society of Portland's mission is to improve the lives of those living with MS through educating the public about MS and related problems while providing a social outlet for people living with MS and their families. It also provides a medical equipment closet, acupuncture, massage, referrals, advocacy and social events.
