Denver nonprofit planning ‘Christmas in the City’ to help local families

DENVER (KDVR) — A Denver nonprofit is attempting to make certain families in need will have something to celebrate this festival season. The Denver Dream Center will sponsor a drive-thru occasion called “Christmas in the City” around Dec. 19 in the north parking lot of Coors Field.

Executive Director Pastor B said, “In the middle of everything being a little mad and incredibly special, expect is genuine, therefore we’re working hard to make a drive-thru Christmas encounter. We will practice social bookmarking and each of the protocols, but we still want to be able to connect with as many folks as we can for your holidays. ”

Since Junethe Denver Dream Center was feeding people in need at the Ball Arena (formerly Pepsi Center), and they’ve held holiday toy drives before. They know the need is more than ever this season because of the pandemic.

“Toyota is a huge sponsor, Macy’s is attracting 1,000 coats, we’t obtained local company and even restaurants — just as tough as it is to them right now — just decorating spaces. Anyone who wants to can drive through. We’ll have the Christmas music and Christmas setting so anyone can come through. Those that need the direct help, they register prior to this event so we have toys to families,” Pastor B said.

Last year, they helped 6,000 children. They set up shop inside Coors Field. But this year, to accommodate the COVID restrictions and the increasing need, they moved to the north parking lot of Coors Field and will have cars drive through.

“The north parking lot of Coors Field is about 12 blocks long; it’s huge. We’re trying to create about a 10-minute drive-thru experience. We’re going to create that drive-thru experience so families can have that moment from lights to the music to whatever we can get into their cars — food, cookies. It has to be packaged and wrapped to meet COVID standards, but we just want to have a Christmas experience,” Pastor B said.

The Colorado Rockies and Kroenke Sports are also sponsors.

You could even drop off toys into any Denver Police Department station.

“It’s reminder for me and my loved ones how lucky we are and it will help us when we’re serving somebody else. One of my favorite Bible verses simply says, ‘To he who refreshes others is that he refreshed.’ Not only is it for the people we serve. They need it. You got moms to grandmas just in tears because they didn’t know where they were going to get Christmas toys or Christmas food from and that moment means so much. It’s amazing for them but it does as much for us,” Pastor B said, adding,”So much in our society is divided right now. We just need to have a place of unity — a place where people can find peace and love and hope in the holiday season. ”
