Around Cortez and Dolores, more than 20 businesses are participating in a Pi\u00f1on Project program that ensures children have gifts to open when the holidays come around.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the Christmas for Kids Angel Trees.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re decorated with slips of paper that detail a child\u2019s wish list and include pertinent information about them for gift buying, like their age, shoe and clothing sizes and even their favorite color.<\/p>\n

The Angel Trees are all over town. You can find them everywhere from Osprey to Cortez Police dispatch to WildEdge Brewing Collective to Denny\u2019s to The Journal,<\/em> and the list goes on.<\/p>\n

In Dolores, the Dolores Bike Hostel has a tree up and so does the Dolores River Brewery.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the community,\u201d said Kerri Beattie, a supervisor at The Pi\u00f1on Project. \u201cWe\u2019re just the conductors of an amazing community train that makes Christmas great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gifts should be unwrapped and returned to the Pi\u00f1on Project at 210 E. Main St. in Cortez with the angel tag by Dec. 16.<\/p>\n

For more information or to learn more about other opportunities to get involved and help folks in need, contact The Pi\u00f1on Project at (970) 564-3817 or visit their website at pinonproject.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
