Denver, CO – Community members across the Denver metro area are being asked to help support local children, families, and older adults this season as the annual #BeAGiver Holiday Gift Drive officially gets underway this week. The donation campaign, promoted by the Denver Sheriff Department and coordinated by Denver Human Services, runs through Friday, Dec. 6, giving residents roughly one month to participate.
According to Denver Human Services, the drive helps ensure that children, caregivers, and aging adults served through city programs receive holiday gifts and essential items that they may otherwise go without. The agency noted that the need is especially high this year, with more families requesting assistance heading into the winter months.
Organizers say donors can participate in several ways: sponsoring an individual, contributing new unwrapped gifts, or making a financial donation directly through the city’s gift portal at denvergov.org/BeAGiver. Items most requested include toys, books, warm clothing, hygiene products, and household essentials.
City officials emphasized that the drive supports residents across Denver County and the broader metro area, including those enrolled in child welfare programs, family support services, and aging and disability resources.
Drop-off sites and specific wish lists are posted online, allowing donors to choose the type of contribution that best fits their budget and preferred impact. Denver Human Services encourages early participation so staff can sort and distribute gifts ahead of the holidays.
Residents who wish to get involved can learn more or sign up as a sponsor through the city’s website.
