Our Holiday Shop is a wonderful tradition at Bear Tavern and will be open December 8th - 11th!
The shop helps foster independence, problem solving and budgeting. This is a great opportunity for BT Students to purchase small gifts for friends, family, and even pets. Gifts range in price from $1 - $12, with most items under $5.
Volunteers are needed to help set up the shop, assist the children with selecting and budgeting their gifts, and breaking down the event.
What to expect: The week prior to the event a shopping guide and price list will be backpacked home. The children and their families will create a gift list that includes recipients and budget amount for each recipient. Shop volunteers will help the students locate gifts for the recipients on their list and help them to make selections to meet their budgeted amounts. The children love shopping for their friends and family and this event is a volunteer favorite!
- Set Up Volunteers: Set out tables, unpack and display items for shopping
- Shopping Assistance Volunteers: 1 class per 30 minute time slot. Each volunteer will pair up with a student and help them select gifts for their recipient list, help ensure they are meeting their budget guidelines, and help them with gift tags and bags at checkout.
- Break Down Volunteers: Pack Up items and break down tables
Please sign up for a volunteer slot no later than Wednesday, December 3rd. Signing up in advance helps ensure a timely schedule can be built and a stress free shopping experience for the students.
