Calling All Holiday Elves! Santa Needs YOUR Help!

This season, the magic of the North Pole is coming right to our city — and YOU can be a part of it! Santa’s Workshop is opening its doors to bring holiday cheer, hope, and beautifully wrapped gifts to low-income families in our community. But as you can imagine, Santa can’t do it alone… he needs a team of jolly elves to help make the magic happen!

We’re looking for big-hearted volunteers to:

Whether you're a pro at gift wrapping, a master of spreading cheer, or just someone who wants to make the season brighter for others — there's a place for you in Santa's crew!

We’re also collecting donations in advance of the big day!
We welcome any and/or all of the following:

Let’s come together to make sure every child wakes up to a little holiday magic this year.

Ready to be an elf?  Sign up today!

Let’s wrap the city in joy — one present at a time.

We are currently in need of volunteers to teach ESL and ASL at the Hub Community Center.

Spread Hope This Christmas!

The holiday season is a time for joy, kindness, and community — and we’d love for YOU to be part of the magic! 

Join us as we share the spirit of giving with our unhoused neighbors. We’ll be passing out Christmas presents, sipping hot chocolate, and spreading warmth, laughter, and love to everyone we meet. 

Every smile counts. Every helping hand matters. Together, we can make this season brighter for those who need it most.

Come volunteer, share in the joy, and help us bring hope to our community this Christmas!

Let’s make this Christmas one to remember — full of hope, compassion, and community spirit. 

Volunteers are the heart of Full Circle Marketplace, and their contributions are essential to our success. Our dedicated team of volunteers helps keep the store running smoothly, from organizing and restocking to assisting customers and ensuring a welcoming environment. Their hard work and passion make it possible for us to provide unique thrifted items and products from local artists, all while supporting the Youth Centers of Orange. Without our volunteers, we couldn’t make the lasting impact we do in our community. Join us and be part of something special!

Please note: Volunteers should be comfortable working on their own, following simple directions, and staying safe in a busy retail setting. You’ll need to be able to go up and down stairs, make quick decisions when needed, and handle tasks without one-on-one help or constant guidance. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to our volunteer director at alext@thehuboc.org!

We’re gearing up for our year-end inventory, and we need an extra pair of hands to help us prep the store for the big day!

Let’s make counting fun — together!
