Our Aim: To have the Devonport Churches unite in serving our city, by offering peace, joy and random acts of kindness during the busy week of Christmas.
We are hoping to have up to 150 volunteers for the Christmas blitz! Volunteers will all need to register and provide their current ‘Working With Vulnerable People’ card. A clearly identifiable ‘Here to Serve’ vest must be worn while serving. These will be provided.
Further details will be provided to those who express interest.
Gift Wrapping:
Free gift wrapping will be offered in the Rooke Street Mall and outside Kmart on alternate days.
There will be up to 3 sessions a day:
- 11am – 1pm (2hrs)
- 1pm – 3pm (2hrs)
- 3pm – 5:15pm (2hrs 30mins – this could include pack up and drop off of equipment)
If you wish to serve at the gift wrapping stations, you will require a reasonable standard of wrapping skill to manage gifts of all shapes and sizes!
Random Acts of Kindness:
Other ways of blessing include (but are not excluded to) –
• Assisting people by offering to take their shopping to their cars (all supermarkets/carparks)
• Clean up rubbish around the city
• Give a card with a kind message (provided)
• Bless people with Christmas treats (provided)
• Take the time to say hello, wish a Merry Christmas, and simply smile to those around you
The registration form has a morning and afternoon option, so we can ensure the City is covered at all times during the campaign.
Gift of Caring:
To bless staff in their workplace, by taking their drink orders, collecting their drinks from the local cafes, and giving a hand with anything they need.
We will have limited drink vouchers available from various cafes.
A friendly smile, a sensitivity to the busy work place, and a happy disposition will be required!
