Opportunity Details

Holiday Meal Greeters

Join us on Christmas morning as we greet the guests who attend the Salvation Army Christmas Lunch at the Phoenix Convention Center. This year we are expecting over 3,000 guests to join us for lunch.  

Our mission is to greet our guests on Christmas morning and spend time with them before lunch is served at 11:30. We open the doors at 9:30 and invite them to have beverages (coffee, hot chocolate, water and juice), take a family selfie picture, make a telephone call to a loved one and enjoy musical entertainment.

Almost half of our guests are children and they enjoy the games, coloring tables, and a visit with Santa Claus. 
 
As a greeter, you can help with any of these activities or be a "mingler". Our "minglers" welcome guests at the door and visit with them throughout the hall much like you would host people in your own home.

We meet at 8:30am (that's orientation and a chance to pick your activity so please don't be late) and finish by 12:30pm.   Children are welcome to join us with Parental Supervision.  The MINIMUM AGE IS 6 YEARS OLD.  

A few days prior to Christmas, you will receive information on parking and the check-in location. Wear comfortable shoes, casual clothes (a bright holiday shirt is great) and bring a bottle of water if you choose, but no purses or coats, there is no place to store your belongings.

SIGN UP REQUIREMENTS: ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST REGISTER ON THIS SITE IN ORDER TO ATTEND!! IF YOU PLAN TO BRING A GUEST OR KIDS, YOU MUST EMAIL MOLLY@HANDSONPHOENIX.ORG IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOUR SIGN UP AND PROVIDE ALL VOLUNTEER NAMES AND AGES (only if under 18). DUE TO SECURITY REQUIREMENTS, IF A NAME IS NOT ON THE LIST, THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO STAY AND VOLUNTEER.
