Boulder County, Colo. - The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office is proud to host the Help for the Holidays Food Drive to help local community members in need this holiday season. The event will take place on Saturday, November 15, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Sheriff’s Office Headquarters, 5600 Flatiron Parkway, Boulder.

“Our deputies see firsthand how many families in our community are struggling to make ends meet,” said Sheriff Curtis Johnson. “This food drive is one way we can come together to make a difference and ensure that no one goes hungry this season.”

The event will have a convenient drive-up drop-off area, making it easy for residents to donate safely and efficiently. Sheriff’s Office deputies, civilian staff, and volunteers will be on hand to greet donors, answer questions, and provide a brief look at Sheriff’s Office vehicles.

Every contribution helps strengthen the community and supports our neighbors in need.
