Merry & Bright is a new community program benefitting Benton students for Christmas. After school counselors approve applications for Benton School District students that are most deserving of some holiday cheer, shoppers will be mobilized to personally purchase gifts based on individual student’s submitted wish list, interests, and sizes. Runners will be helpful in the early stages of organizing items as they are dropped off at City Hall, checking the status of ”tags” at different community locations, and receiving donations from event sponsors. For the distribution event, runners will be needed to organize all items for efficient and effective pick-up by parent/guardian of recipients; organization could include times prior to and on Sat, Dec 13th.
Some tasks will require lifting and carrying boxes or bags over 15lbs in weight. Great opportunity for youth needing service hours.
