Cheyenne, Wyo. – As we enter the holiday season, resources are seeing that the community need is at an all time high. Beach Please stepping in to help ten different non-profits through their giving tree program.
“It seems like the need this year is bigger than its ever been, and so we decided to help as many people as we could,” said Amber Kester, Co-Owner of Beach Please.
This is their fourth year doing the trees, doubling year after year, starting with just over 100 gifts, 280 the second, last year 560, and are expecting around 1,500 tags this year.
“Generosity breeds generosity,” said Kester.
Tags are spread across 10 non profits helping to spread cheer to everyone from foster children, the elderly, single mothers, and local programs across the area.
“We’re trying to make a dent in the different areas of Cheyenne that impact different people,” said Kester.
Requests range from everything from sports equipment for the Boys and girls Club, and stockings for foster children, to toiletries and diapers.
“There’s a variety from everything that would make your heart cry, to things that’s just like we want to spoil these people, because otherwise they’re not going to get a Christmas. We just appreciate the opportunity to serve Cheyenne, we appreciate the non-profits coming alongside us, letting us spoil them, it takes a lot to ask for help,” said Kester.
If you’d like to help, you can pickup a tag from the downtown or north Beach Please locations, and return the gift by December 6th.
