Brighten someone’s holiday; join Broomfield employees in giving tree effort
this holiday season
 

Broomfield employees are again inviting residents to join them in a Giving Tree effort this holiday season. 

Employees have sponsored a Giving Tree during the holiday season for the last seven years to help families and seniors who are less fortunate. This is the second year they are inviting the public to participate with them. 

Residents who wish to help can visit the lobbies of the City and County Building and the Paul Derda Recreation Center. 

There, they will find a tree “decorated” with gift tags that are coded to identify a family member of one of the selected families, and the gift request. Families to benefit from the program are referred anonymously from Broomfield FISH, Health and Human Services, the Broomfield Senior Center and the Broomfield Police Department. The Police Department is referring names to help foster a positive relationship with kids. 

Residents can select a tag from the tree, purchase the gift listed, and return it, unwrapped and with the tag, to the place where they took the tag.   

Broomfield employees will deliver the gift to the appropriate family. This year, “Santa Cops” will also help by delivering gifts to Broomfield children who have been identified as needing a positive relationship with a police officer. 

Deadline to return the gifts and tags is Monday, Dec. 10.
