Santa Claus Helps Optimists Club Of Monaco South In Together 4 Colorado Toy Drive
DENVER (CBS4) - You know it's a good collection day for the Together 4 Colorado Toy Drive when even Santa Claus stops by with donations. That's just what happened during the noon hour at the King Soopers at Monaco and Hampden Avenue.
Santa caught up with the Denver Fire Department to help deliver toys collected and paid for by the Optimist Club of Monaco South.
Santa was just the guy to explain that club's mission. "The Monaco South Optimists Club thinks every kid should have a happy holiday so they've been collecting money and raising funds to help with CBS4's toy drive."
The guy in red also really approves of the way the club raises the money for the toy donation, by selling Christmas trees from a lot at Monaco and Iliff.
"They've been there 35 years, I think. I fly by and I see them there on Christmas Eve."
This year the club worked the Target in the University Hills North neighborhood to stretch those dollars as far as they would to help the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver.
CBS4 and King Soopers on Friday are holding a special collection day event where viewers can drive up and safely donate toys without getting out of their cars.
CBS4 talent and Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver staff and volunteers will be on hand to help collect toy donations and thank donors. New, unwrapped toys can be dropped off on Friday from 12-7pm at two King Soopers locations.
• King Soopers in Belmar (7984 W. Alameda Avenue, Lakewood)
• King Soopers on Hampden & Monaco (6470 E. Hampden Avenue, Denver)
Look for the CBS4 tent where you will be able to drive up and drop off your donations.
