– As part of their annual tradition to bring cheer to children in need over the holidays, Human Bean Northern Colorado hosted a toy drive from November 7 through December 1. Customers brought new and unwrapped gifts, plus made cash donations, to one of The Human Bean’s 10 drive-thru locations. Donations were distributed to Santa Cops of Weld County, Life Stories and Serve 6.8 to deliver to children in northern Colorado communities.
“We are so grateful to these organizations that help us distribute gifts to children in the area,” said Krista Smith, Assistant Director of Operations for The Human Bean. “Their passion and desire to ensure that children in need have a good holiday is heartwarming. We were so glad to have this partnership with each nonprofit again this year!”
The Human Bean kicked off the toy drive on November 7 with representatives from each nonprofit at one of their locations:
• Santa Cops of Weld County were at 3310 23rd Avenue in Evans
• Life Stories were at 3665 W. 10th Street in Greeley
• Serve 6.8 were at 6180 E. Crossroads Boulevard in Loveland
