Kelley encourages applicants to get to the website as soon as possible. “We are accepting applications right now, this will go through the end of the month of November,” says Kelley, “We really need to get people on board right away as we are seeing the Christmas mail come early this year and there are a lot of opportunities to gain hours and earn some holiday money.”
