From: Jefferson County, ColoradoHelp a Child in Need Through Jefferson County's Giving Tree Program
Many families are unable to afford gifts for their children. That’s why Jefferson County is asking for your help in brightening a child’s holiday season by purchasing them a gift. Jefferson County's Giving Tree program, sponsored by the Board of County Commissioners, makes that a little easier.
Tags will be available on the holiday tree in the atrium of the Jefferson County Administration and Courts Facility beginning Nov. 21. Community members are encouraged to visit and take a tag (or two) from the Giving Tree. Tags will remain on the tree until they are all picked up in the next couple of weeks. In previous years, the tags were all picked up in the first couple days, so don’t wait too long!
