Volunteer Opportunities

Crippsmas Place is a charity fundraiser featuring an annual December display of over 80 decorated homes in north Fremont. Volunteers carry, arrange, and install the painted plywood cut-out decorations in the front yards of neighbors who requested help, along Nicolet Avenue and the cul-de-sacs of Asquith Place, Cripps Place, Wellington Place, and Nicolet Court. Ground-level work only - no ladders or rooftops. Volunteers are also notified about opportunities during the event itself, like handing out candy canes.
