Group Volunteers are an integral part of the 880 CHED Santas Anonymous season! Service groups, coworkers, friends and more come together to help deliver the Spirit of Christmas to less fortunate families in Edmonton.
With more options to choose from than ever, there truly is something for everyone; come to Santa's Depot and experience the journey of a toy packaging gifts for kids, help out at various events year-round to help build awareness and raise funds.
This year, the YEG Christmas Market will be partnering with Santas Anonymous to spread Christmas cheer at one of the most magical Christmas events in Edmonton. Volunteer opportunities are Thursday - Sunday from November 20 - December 21.
Volunteer roles include but are not limited to:
Venue Monitors – Keep lineups organized and assist guests with accessibility needs.
Market Elves – Greet visitors, provide directions, and help keep pathways and crossings safe.
Campfire Crew – Keep the fire stoked and ensure safety around them.
ECM Decorators – Assist with setting up festive decor prior to opening weekend
Please note: this volunteer opportunity will take place at the YEG Christmas Market located at Fort Edmonton Park.
