Shelter captains are the team leaders of a team they assemble. Each Shelter team is assigned a shelter, and is responsible for collecting and delivering food and gifts to their shelter. Shelter Captains will receive wish lists from each child in that shelter, coordinate collecting gifts and backpacks for the children, and coordinate delivering gifts to each shelter. Shelter Captains can sign up their friends/coworkers/colleagues/inlaws to be on their team. Shelter Captains will meet every Monday virtually starting in December, where they will receive training and check in with other shelter captains.
