About the Volunteers

Each year The Grotto’s Christmas Festival of Lights relies on volunteers to make the Festival happen. We are grateful to those who come out, sometimes in not-so-nice weather, to give their time and make the event far more special for our guests and performers.

All our volunteers check in and out through our “volunteer room” which is located immediately below the Chapel where the choirs perform. This room is a place for them to gain information, share stories and warm up.

This area would also be a perfect place for our volunteer coordinators to give out coupons or freebies to these wonderful people.
