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.

There are some agencies that provide assistance to the majority of the state. No matter where you are located, you can reach out to your local branch for assistance.
Salvation Army
The Salvation Army provides holiday meals, toys, clothing and more to low income families. If you’re going to need a little (or a lot) of help this holiday season, contact the Salvation Army right away. You can visit their website to find your local chapter.
Toys for Tots
Most areas of the US are also served by the Marine’s Toys for Tots campaign. To participate, you’ll need to visit their official website.

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..
Bonnie,
Thanks for the tip!
