Proceeds will benefit the non-profit clinic, which serves Sevier County residents and employees with no health insurance.<\/p>\n<p>The location Ole Smoky Barn, 131 The Island Drive in Pigeon Forge. Volunteers are asked to sign in for two-hour shifts (or longer) any time between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a great opportunity to turn a Christmas shopping outing into something more,&#8221; said Ashley Burnette, director of fund development for Mountain Hope. &#8220;Just think &#8212; you can shop in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, then wrap gifts for a couple of hours to benefit others. You could even wrap the gifts you just bought.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, you can shop with a friend and then both of you can have fun wrapping together. Two volunteers at a time are needed at each location.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s another way you can help the project. You can donate Christmas wrapping paper, tape, scissors, bows, and ribbon by taking it to the Clinic at 312 Prince Street in Sevierville.<\/p>\n<p>To sign up for your shift, contact Ashley at 774-7684 or by e-mail at aburnette@mountainhope.org. \u00a0You can also sign up for a shift online:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/signup.com\/go\/7WtnfV\" target=\"_blank\">Shifts at the Ole Smokey Barn in Pigeon Forge at the Island<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The Clinic provides quality medical and dental care at low cost to the county&#8217;s uninsured. It now has more than 21,000 patients of record. Fund-raisers such as the gift wrapping project are one way of bridging the gap between what patients can afford and the actual cost to the clinic of providing care.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only about 115 shopping days to Christmas!
