City of Denver gifts toys to 1,500 migrant children thanks to donations [Video]

DENVER — The City of Denver on Tuesday spread holiday cheer to roughly 1,500 migrant children thanks to donations from Denverites.

The city opened a toy drive several weeks ago and collected 4,000 new toys.

On Tuesday, families gathered in the lobby of a hotel that’s recently been converted to a shelter. Each child was able to pick out two toys.

“It’s been great. Every kid is going to get a wonderful gift,” said Bret Walker with the City of Denver. “They’ve been through a lot. They’ve traveled. We wanted to just bring some joy to their life and get them a toy.”

According to the city, 263 migrants arrived in Denver on Tuesday, while 114 arrived Monday. There are 3,672 migrants in non-city shelters as of Tuesday.

In total, the city has helped 32,728 migrants.
