NHCO seeks a Head Elf for our Salvation Army Kettle Campaign this Fall. As Head Elf, you will be in charge of training and managing our volunteer bell ringers and kettle collectors. We are a Salvation Army service unit for the Allison Park area and the funds raised during the campaign serve people in need who come to NHCO for help. The campaign runs from the day before Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve. With NHCO staff support, the Head Elf is a key member of the kettle team, helping to ensure that we have enough volunteers to run the campaign and that kettles are getting to and from NHCO when they should.
We collect at two locations, the Kuhn’s in Allison Park and the Walmart in Gibsonia. We will provide training and support to the Head Elf, you provide the organization and good cheer! Interested? Contact John Patterson at jhpatterson@nhco.org or 412-676-7021 for more details.
