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.
