The Town of Bennett is excited to announce the 2021 Holiday Help program.
In 2020, the Town of Bennett and the Bennett School District created Holiday Help. The goal of the program is to provide Bennett families in need with necessities like winter clothing as well as gifts for the holiday season.
This year, the Town will be incorporating “Senior Wishes” into the program, where the Town will collect socks, slippers, blankets and other necessities for seniors in the community.
Recent severe weather affected many homes and buildings in the neighborhood. As a friendly reminder, if you need to repair your roof, you must obtain a permit from the Town. All contractors working on homes also need to be licensed with the Town. If you have any questions, please contact the building department at (303)644-3249 ext. 1032.
