The holiday spirit is taking on a tangible form in Weber County, where the Weber County Sheriff's Office has teamed up with the Ogden-Weber Community Action Partnership to host a Giving Tree, bringing joy and support to children in need this season. This collaborative effort invites community members to sponsor a child by visiting the sheriff's office lobby, now adorned with a tree, and selecting a card that corresponds to a child's holiday wish.
Those interested in making a child's holiday brighter can stop by the sheriff's office during their specified business hours, which span from 7 am to 9 pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, a bit shorter on Wednesday from 7 am to 5 pm, and on Saturday the doors are open from 10 am to 8 pm; the office remains closed on Sundays. Once a card is picked, a patron can shop for the desired gift and return it to the same location, or to any other Giving Tree sites across the county, a full list of which is viewable through a link provided by the Weber County Sheriff's Office.
The Weber County Sheriff's Office, in a social media announcement, sets a deadline for the donations; all gifts must be returned by December 10th. The Weber County Sheriff's Office encourages patrons to participate in this Giving Tree initiative, which goes beyond traditional law enforcement roles, embracing the hashtag #morethanguardians to underscore their commitment to community engagement and service.
