About

The Mile High United Way Children's Holiday Party is our largest community outreach event of the year. Last year we were able to serve hundreds of families in a COVID friendly drive through event. This year, we are so thrilled to share, that we will be hosting the event in-person once again!  Through careful planning we are excited to be able to invite over 300 families to our building for an indoor/ outdoor hybrid event.

Thanks to the generous donations of our community and corporate partners we are able to provide a toy store where parents can "shop" for new gifts for their children. Children will have the opportunity to meet Santa, craft and play holiday themed activities. At the end of the day families will leave with great holiday memories, treasured homemade keepsakes, and wrapped gifts to put under the tree. 

Bilingual Volunteers Needed for this opportunity! 

Interested in providing items for our families? Check out our Amazon Wishlist HERE. Please note if you plan to drop off supplies at our building, we are only accepting supplies Mondays and Fridays between 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. 

Not able to volunteer or participate in the drive? Make a gift to help us purchase items for the Children's Holiday Party  to ensure that our families have everything they need this season. Give Now

We hope you volunteer with us for the 2021 Children's Holiday Party!
