**Greeley Police Bring Holiday Cheer to Families in Need**

On December 3, officers from the Greeley Police Department gathered at the DoubleTree hotel in downtown Greeley to distribute toys to families in the community as part of the annual Santa Cops of Weld County program. This year, nearly 300 families benefitted from the event, which marks its 38th year.

Santa Cops of Weld County provided close to 3,000 gifts to families in need. With support from Greeley-Evans School District 6, the initiative reached more than 2,500 children living in Greeley and Evans.

The event was made possible through collaboration with several local organizations, including The Pink Balloon, International United Miss, Greeley Fire Department, Weld County Garage, Phobia Entertainment, NGNG Enterprises with Amber Vilhauer, and the Greeley Harmonix Chorus.

Community members who wish to contribute to next year’s Santa Cops of Weld County can visit [greeleypd.com/santa-cops](https://greeleypd.com/santa-cops/) for more information about how to donate.
