Miller Community Center and the Country Doctor Community Clinic (on 19th) host an annual giant holiday party for the clinic’s patients and other (mostly disadvantaged) families in Seattle. Kids from 0 to 10 years old enjoy games and receive presents, and everyone gets a holiday meal.
Party is Saturday December 10 from 10 AM – 2 PM at Miller Community Center, 330 – 19th Ave. E.
.Volunteer opportunities:
- Tuesday December 6th, 5 – 9 PM at Miiler: help wrap the 1,200+ presents for the party.
- Saturday, December 10th: volunteer at the party. Turn up at 9AM to be ready for the guests at 10 AM.
- Help with set-up for the party, on Friday December 9th, would also be appreciated
- (for the real heros) help with clean-up after the party: Saturday 2 – 5 PM.
You can donate presents (for 0 to 10 year olds): bring them to the wrapping party (see above) or drop them off at Miller Community Center (hours)
We could also use the donated services of a childrens’ entertainer/DJ, should you be one or know one!
A bilingual childrens’ entertainer/DJ will be there from 11 – 1. Another good reason to come along!
For further details, or to volunteer for the party, contact Center Director Jeremy Doane (206-684-4753, [email protected] ).
This slideshow (from last year) gives the flavor of the gift wrapping, and of the actual party, which served 1660 kids:
I did this last year and it was a blast. Unfortunately I have a meeting I can’t get out of this year on the gift wrapping night, but I encourage anyone in the neighborhood to join in!
