Harrison School District 2 families receive Christmas gifts thanks to generosity
Dec 15, 2025
Some families in Harrison School District 2 are getting Christmas gifts thanks to the generosity of their neighbors.Since 2020, District 2 and Pikes Peak United Way have teamed up for their 'Adopt a Family" program in Colorado S
prings. Families get to make a wishlist of items they need, then, a community member can adopt them and donate gifts.Monday was the first of two days families could pick up donated gifts at Pikes Peak United Way."It really does help them with understanding that there are individuals out there in the community that do care for them and are having a good watching eye on them for when they do need assistance," said Bobby Gomez, Director of Community Impact at Pikes Peak United Way. "And then it just allows the community to come together as well."Families can also write the donors a thank you card while they're waiting for their gifts to be gathered. If you need help or resources this holiday season, you can call 211 to be connected with a Pikes Peak United Way representative._______Watch KOAA News5 on your time, anytime with our free streaming app available for your Roku, FireTV, AppleTV and Android TV.
