Volunteers needed
HOLLISTER – Small Steps, a local nonprofit organization which provides jackets and shoes to children, is looking for volunteers to help with its annual shopping trip on Saturday, Nov. 3. The group’s goal is to take 375 local children pre-selected by their teachers to Target and Payless Shoe Source. Small Steps is looking for approximately 400 volunteers to be an adult shopper, register participants, work in the Kiddie Korral, help set up or clean up or serve refreshments.
Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and must pre-register so names, addresses and driver’s license numbers can be run through Megan’s Law. Thumbprints of volunteers are taken on the day of the event.
To receive a volunteer form, call 638-2111. Send tax-deductible donations to: Small Steps, P.O. Box 2137, Hollister, CA, 95024.
