 Americana's Winter Festival Dec. 18
is around the corner and we need your help to make the evening special for hundreds of refugee and immigrant families. We're looking for volunteers to help with set-up and tear-down (1pm-5pm and 8pm-9:30pm), but also during the festivities to supervise crafts and games (5pm-8:30pm).
We'll also need help collecting toys and gifts for 400-500 young refugee and immigrant participants (infants to high school). More than often, the present they receive during the Winter Festival is the only *new* gift they receive all year. If you want to hold a drive or give a toy or two, please look to our website for more information. If you'd like to give a monetary donation that will be used solely to buy gifts, we've set up a fundraiser on Crowdrise for your convenience!
