When You Arrive

Drive-Through Drop-Off

Stay in your vehicle throughout the drop-off.
Make sure your trunk and back doors are unlocked and easy for volunteers to open quickly.
Pack boxes and bags so they're easy to lift — this keeps our volunteers safe from lifting injuries.
Boxes, bags, and transport containers will be given back to you.

Donations Benefit Crime Stoppers

There is no charge for the event, but donations are encouraged and go directly to Metro Denver Crime Stoppers — a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports local law enforcement agencies by offering cash rewards to individuals who help solve crimes.
