At Uptown Christiansburg, formerly called NRV Mall 2025
The booth is in the old Zales store. If you come in the front entrance it is on the right corner (next to GNC) by the central area, opposite the large fireplace.
Wrapping Booth Hours may be found on the Events Calendar
Signing up to Wrap? Shifts will be 2 hours each, so sign up for several shifts if you want to work for longer !

Wrapping for a Reason is a MCEAP fund-raising wrapping booth (we wrap shoppers’ gifts from Black Friday to Christmas Eve, with fewer shifts at first, then more near Christmas). Wrapping services are more concentrated during peak times to avoid slow periods & overloading our dedicated volunteers. We now have two Square devices for taking and recording payments.
Our goal: providing a valuable service with a smile & pleasant attitude. ALL proceeds go to Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program (MCEAP), which provides year-round emergency assistance–food, clothing, utilities, and housing.
See wrapping demo (created several years ago by Coreen Bookout & Janet Spencer) if you need a refresher: https://youtu.be/Y_hx3itAT-U.
