Volunteer

We’re 100% volunteer run, and volunteers are the heart and soul of Christmas in the City.

For 2024, we are still in the planning stages for a small scale party. While this will not require the level of volunteers we needed when we held the BIG parties at the Boston Convention Center pre-covid, we will be looking for some volunteers to help out. Please check back here later in October for more details and/or email volunteer@christmasinthecity.org

We do have some volunteer slots for businesses or other organizations that wish to send a team to volunteer at Jake’s Toy Mania, where we distribute toys to families in need. We are in the process of finalizing our schedule of needs. Dates are December 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22 (in downtown Boston) and we’re hoping that those sending teams are also able to make a $500 donation. If you’re interested, please email maureen@christmasinthecity.org.
