Salvation Army Chico ARP

Our volunteer Elf Cooperative led by a group of dedicated teens and kids are on a mission…. a mission to handpick toys, sports equipment and new clothing to thousands of underprivileged children in the Bay Area. We focus on kids of all ages, keeping in mind the often-overlooked tweens and teens in traditional toy drives.

For 10 years, the Elf Cooperative (formerly Dig Deep), a non-profit with zero overhead, has donated 100% of its proceeds and more to serving Bay Area families in need. The organization partners in lockstep with The Salvation Army and some of the top community leaders like Target to continue the true spirit of the holidays: giving back, connecting and collaborating with friends, and helping our children understand the power of giving back.

How it works:

1. You must donate on the Go Fund Me page *prior to December 13th*

2. A local Target store has generously offered to give our teen and young elves access before the store opening to shop for the toys, clothes, makeup, and sports equipment that are most meaningful to this age group

3. A fleet of Salvation Army reindeer trucks will transport the toys to the Salvation Army’s SF headquarters for distribution, with Santa’s help.

You can help make this holiday season special for thousands of children with your donations and participation. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Think about how much joy can be spread with a donation of $100 or more. With the support of our generous donors and sponsors, the Elf Cooperative represents the largest private donation to The Salvation Army in the United States.

A special THANK YOU to our sponsors: Target, Compass, the Salvation Army, St. Ignatius HS, Marin Catholic, Marin Academy, Town School for Boys, and Tamalpais High School.
