Sometimes, Colorado families need a little help with free Christmas gifts and food. Life happens to all of us. A layoff, an illness, a recent move, a major repair or any unexpected expense can make it impossible to afford the extra gifts and food to celebrate the holiday season.

Fortunately, there are agencies that can help. We’re dedicated to helping low income families all across America get the help they need to enjoy their holidays. If you need help in a different state, you can click here to find help in your area.

No matter how much low income people try to get ahead more money gets taken whether your rent goes up or your utilities and tho its hard to ask for help i highly recommend those on need use whatever programs there are. In Larimer County you can dial 211 ( United Way) and get help. SALVATION ARMY has already done there sign ups but there are Santa Cops and other programs out there to help..
Riley Thomson
Bonnie,
Thanks for the tip!
