Each of these program areas require funding and partnership to execute.

Saturday, December 12, 2026
8 a.m. - 11 a.m.
Town of Bennett Town Hall
207 Muegge Way,
Bennett, CO 80102
Thanks to generous donations from the community, the Town of Bennett will be hosting a toy and gift distribution.
Gifts will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis. If you or someone you know may need extra holiday help this year, please join us.
The sponsored family program continues the tradition of assisting nominated families in need. Then a sponsored family will be matched with a sponsor who will purchase, wrap and drop off their donations for families to be distributed by the Town in a mainly anonymous form. The sponsored family’s information is gathered by the town and families are contacted to accept program assistance. Each child’s first name is given to sponsors along with information for child needs such as clothing items (including sizes) and basic necessities, as well as fun toy and wish list items the child is hoping for. Sponsors shop for items, wrap and drop off the gifts, labeled with family number and child’s first name. The Town will distribute those items to the families on a designated date coordinated with the parent/guardian contact.
There are many ways to help the program.
-
Sign up to be a sponsor to a family. Be aware that sponsoring a family can involve a larger commitment. If you choose to sponsor a family, please know the commitment can be around $250 for a family with one child and an additional $100 for each additional child depending on ages and needs.
-
Donate toys or items for the Toy Drive. You can donate at Town Hall and be entered into our drawing give away. You can also host a donation drop off site as well. Donation boxes and information can be delivered to your place of business.

Make a financial donation. Simple, quick and can be done online.

Donate non-perishable food items for distribution at the toy drive distribution event. Any unused items will be donated to the Bennett Food Bank.
