For the month of December consider yourself as a warehouse elf. On Mondays through Fridays in December, unload toys when they are delivered from collection sites, sort the toys for distribution, or "shop" and pack the gifts to be delivered to nonprofit agencies serving as distribution sites to area children. Each day there are two timeslots: 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.and 1 to 3:30 p.m. It is recommended to dress in layers because the temperature in the warehouse can vary.
For more information and to sign up, please visit Pittsburgh Cares.
