SignUpGenius Serves Operation Christmas Child
Posted by Erin Dunn
SignUpGenius staffers put their Santa hats on early this year — gathering at the Operation Christmas Child warehouse in Charlotte to fold T-shirts that will be shipped overseas for needy children.
Operation Christmas Child is part of the nonprofit Samaritan's Purse, which is one of SignUpGenius' four main giving partners. We donated more than $22,000 to the nonprofit last year and also packed shoeboxes for its annual holiday push. Sign us up for the gift-wrapping station anytime!
During the busy Christmas season, one thousand people can pack the warehouse at a time, and more than 40,000 people volunteer during a three-week period. Shoeboxes filled with gifts and hygiene essentials are sent to more than 100 countries across the globe to bless children.
SignUpGenius is honored to partner with an organization that is truly changing the world.

I am a huge fan of SignUpGenius. I am a second career nurse in northern Virginia at a large teaching hospital where I work on the labor unit with 120 fabulous coworkers. The nurses have to sign up for eight hours of "call" each schedule of four weeks. After two months of getting the staff prepared mentally for online call, I'm pleased to say our maiden voyage was a huge success. All 84 nurses signed up within 24 hours, which was unheard of. We usually have to stalk and threaten. Thanks SignUpGenius. I'm a fan forever.
