The annual FIRM Christmas Party will be held on Saturday, December 15 from 10 AM to 1 PM. We will again include games, food, craft activities, gifts for children, and of course, a visit from Santa.
Although we partner with Toys 4 Tots for most of the gifts for the FIRM Community Christmas, we always have 100-200 children that attend that do not register. If you would like to donate a toy for the event, please feel free to drop off any new toy to FIRM between now and the event on December 15th. You are also welcome to donate financially for the event, which will be used for toys to fill in the gaps for those that do not register. Feel free to go to www.firminc.org/donate and click “other”. Please put “Toys for Christmas” in the box under other and we will make sure they are used for this purpose.
The Christmas Party requires a large number of volunteers each year. Through the generosity of the Humanics Program at Fresno State, FIRM is in the process of implementing a new volunteer management system. To volunteer for the Christmas Party, sign up here, and FIRM staff will be in touch about volunteering. We are still working out a few issues with the new volunteer management system, so we would appreciate not only your patience but also any feedback.
