Here’s how your shift works:
🌟 Volunteer at the Tree - Be the Magic at the Mall
Location: Vintage Faire Mall, 2nd Floor near the Christmas Tree Kiosk
What You’ll Do
When you serve at the Tree, you’re at the very center of the magic.
Volunteers and Supervisors welcome guests,
guide them through the process of choosing a child’s tag,
and share the heart behind the Community Christmas Tree mission.
🕯️ Explain the Program -
Help shoppers understand how each tag represents
a local child in need of clothing, shoes, or special Christmas wishes.
🎁 Assist with Tag Selection -
Help guests pick a name from the tree,
complete registration, and answer any questions
so their giving journey is simple and joyful.
👋 Create a Warm Experience -
Every smile matters. You’re the first touchpoint for families,
businesses, and groups who want to make a difference.
🪞 Encourage Bulk Giving -
Inspire companies, families, and organizations to
adopt multiple tags, filling entire sleighs
of joy for children across Modesto.
🎄 Keep the Tree Beautiful -
Re-stock tags, organize returned ones,
and ensure the kiosk stays festive, clean, and welcoming.
📦 Support the Flow of Gifts -
Confirm that returned gifts are checked in
and prepped for pickup so the Processing Room
can handle wrapping and delivery.

“Ho, ho, ho! You know, every year my sleigh is packed full of toys… but the real magic doesn’t happen in the North Pole, it happens right here in Modesto.
These incredible volunteers help bring Christmas morning to life for thousands of kids. I may deliver the gifts, but they deliver the joy. If you’re thinking about joining us, grab a spot, the Nice List has your name on it.”


“I used to think wrapping presents at the North Pole was the most fun a little elf could have… then I volunteered
at Community Christmas Tree Modesto!
I got to help families pick tags, sort gifts, and spread enough holiday cheer to make Rudolph do a happy dance. So grab your cocoa, your biggest smile, and let’s make some magic together. Trust me, it’s way more fun than polishing candy canes all day.”
