Tips for Kids is a special program of Roof Sit. Volunteer groups or business teams pump gas and wash windows for tips at 9 area Shell gas stations during the Roof Sit event – May 17-19. Each  volunteer group is scheduled for a two hour shift or more. The tips are collected, counted and then taken to the Roof Sit headquarters at Helzberg Diamonds and Hairmasters Plus on Westnedge Avenue in Portage.

How it works:

• A volunteer group chooses a Shell station and time slot. Groups are encouraged to challenge other groups: raising the stakes, as well as recruiting additional groups to participate.
• Volunteers need only arrive equipped with a friendly smile and motivation – we will provide a Roof Sit volunteer T-Shirt, an apron to collect the tips in and a donation card to hand to people who donate.
• Volunteers will greet the customer and explain that they are volunteering for Tips for Kids, a program to raise money to support programs at The Community Healing Centers that treat and prevent child abuse and neglect.
• Volunteers collect general donations, pump gas, wash windows and hopefully receive a tip for their efforts. All money is placed in the money apron. Donation cards are given to customers who want them. 
• At the end of shift all money collected by the group is brought to the Roof Sit site and counted.  
• Groups can be as small as 2 people so get a friend or two and sign up!!  This is also a great activity for a family.
