The couple has been volunteering for various groups since retiring a few years ago, but stepped up their efforts when they saw the devastation left behind by the Marshall Fire.
BROOMFIELD, Colo. – To create a winter wonderland for families that lost everything in the Marshall Fire takes a lot of work by a lot of different people.
“It's just good if we can give them a little bit of, you know, joy and an opportunity to come out and do things that they maybe are unable to do in their home because of the fire,” Anita says of the celebration. “I don’t see them as volunteers, I just see them as friends,” says Karina Owens, the resource center manager for A Precious Child. “They're here making sure people are smiling, things are stocked. They're just part of the family.”
“I was kind of feeling a little bit like lost and missing my social opportunities,” she says. “So this has been a great way to get back and get involved.”
