St. Louis Christmas Carols Association Seeks Volunteers for Holiday Season

ST. LOUIS - Nov. 1, 2023 - PRLog -- For the 112th year in a row, the St. Louis Christmas Carols Association is excited to spread cheer and good will to our neighborhoods and throughout the community during the 2023 caroling season.

Since 1911, St. Louis Christmas Carols Association (STLCCA) has shared holiday joy and good tidings throughout our St. Louis community by caroling in neighborhoods around the metro region. This season, volunteer caroling groups will collect donations for 24 St. Louis children's charities as they bring community spirit to our neighborhood front doors and public spaces through the gift of song and music. Charity partners include Sherwood Forest, SouthSide Early Childhood Center, Unleashed Potential, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, Girls on the Run, Center for Hearing and Speech, and others.

Guiding the efforts this year, Interim Executive Director, Seana Beard is eager and excited to see what this season has in store.

"Having started with the organization last year, I am so proud of the work we do! We are small but mighty and have a deep and rich history in this city. My hope is that we can grow our reach and build stronger relationships with our neighbors, all the while creating more carolers along the way. The benefits of caroling are plentiful – it promotes mental and physical health, enhances memory, relieves stress, and most importantly builds community! The proceeds that we collect with our caroling does so much good for the partners we are supporting, and witnessing the joy those donations create is magical!

Having successfully navigated the Covid years, we had a strong 111^th season in 2022. For 2023 there is 'no way but up'. We want to encourage more carolers, more holiday magic, and more donations collected. Gather your friends, family, coworkers, your book club – anyone – and sign up! No experience, qualifications, or talent are required, just a wish to spread cheer and support kids! Tis is the season for traditions and if we aren't part of yours yet, you're missing out!"

Volunteers should sign-up online by November 30 at https://stlchristmascarols.org/go-caroling/.
