Weld Elves is a nonprofit organization made up of local law enforcement, firefighters, EMS personnel, and military members who work together to support children and families throughout Weld County while strengthening relationships between first responders and the communities they serve.

Each Christmas season, first responders personally deliver gifts to children, creating positive memories and lasting connections within our communities. Through gift programs, community partnerships, and year-round support services, Weld Elves works to bring hope, joy, and encouragement to families in need throughout Weld County.
