About the Program

The Carbon Valley Santa Cops program is an annual event in which the Firestone and Frederick Police Departments provide a gift, warm winter clothing, and necessities to underrepresented children in the Carbon Valley area during the holiday season. 

Starting each fall, this nonprofit program is made possible because of generous businesses and individuals who donate gifts and money to benefit children and families. By early December, with all the shopping complete, volunteers and local officers come together for a day of wrapping before gifts are delivered to the children by mid-December.

2025 Program Updates

The City of Dacono Police Department will be participating in the Weld Elves program. More information about Weld Elves, including the application and nomination process, can be found here: https://weldelves.com/   

For Northern Colorado families who are outside of Weld County and need assistance, please connect with NoCo Santa Squad at https://nocosantasquad.org/.
