This holiday season, the Thornton Police Department is excited to share this years Operation “Pay-It-Forward Giving Tree.” 🎄

Starting on the evening of December 1st will kick off our first “Operation Pay It Forward Giving Tree!”

This isn’t a toy or gift drive—it’s a kindness tree.
Each tag on the tree has a small act of kindness written on it, like checking on a neighbor, thanking a teacher, or doing something thoughtful for someone in our community.

All you have to do is:
1. Stop by outside our lobby and visit the Pay It Forward Tree.
2. Choose a tag.
3. Complete the act of kindness—and keep it going!

Our goal is simple: to fill Thornton with a little more hope, joy, cheer, and love this season. 💙

If you have questions or would like to be involved in another way this holiday season, please reach out to Sgt. Jeannine Wood at the Thornton Police Department by email, [email protected]
