Gift Giving Goodness

This past Monday saw the completion of the first stage of Imagine!’s Gift Giving Drive - gathering donations.

Now, Imagine! staff members and volunteers are sorting and organizing the many, many gifts that were donated by generous community members, and preparing to distribute the gifts to families served by Imagine! who are in need. We’ll give you the complete details once the gifts are sorted and delivered, but in the meantime, we’d like to highlight a few donations in particular.

Check out these awesome handmade wooden toys. The Kiwanis Club of Longmont donated 53 of these to the Holiday Gift Giving Drive. Great stuff! Thanks, Kiwanis!


The photo below represents only a few of the 245 gifts Imagine! received Friday, November 30, from Stephen Tebo's annual holiday party for our Holiday Gift Giving Drive. Guests were encouraged to bring a gift to the party, and this year Imagine! and the Boulder YWCA were benefactors of the generosity of Stephen and his guests. Thanks to everyone who donated at the party and made the holidays brighter for the people we serve.


FirstBank employees donated 37 gifts for adults and children last week. This was the first time they have participated in our Gift Giving Drive, and we are extremely grateful for their generosity.


A longtime participant in our Gift Giving Drive, Nativity of Our Lord Church in Broomfield, made a very large donation with gifts for more than 125 children. Toys and clothes were wrapped and bagged for 100 children that the church members ”adopted,” and additional toys and clothes for 25 other children were donated as well. It took three trips with SUVs to collect all of the donations, and it was the largest donation we have received this season! We are estimating that over 300 toys and clothes were donated by church members. Wow! Thanks so much!


We are sincerely grateful to everyone who donated gifts this year. You have truly made the season jolly!
