DHS #BeAGiver Seasonal Drives - 2024
#BeAGiver Holiday Gift Drive (November 1 - December 9)
The #BeAGiver Holiday Gift Drive occurs every November/December, with the mission to support families, children, and older adults in need who are served by DHS through the holiday season. In 2023, we collected nearly 2,300 general gifts that went to 1,234 children and adults in need, and matched over 1,246 specific individuals with a community donor who provided gifts from their specific wish lists.
Gift Suggestions
For your convenience, below is a list of the general holiday gifts we hope to collect for every client age group served by Denver Human Services (Babies, Children, Teens, and Adults). The majority of these items are on our Amazon and YouGiveGoods wish lists to utilize while shopping. These items on the list are not required, only suggestions. If you are interested in donating different brands and types of holiday gifts you can definitely do so. We are very grateful for your support!
