The goal of Routt County United Way’s Holiday Exchange Market is to bring together the entire community in sharing, so that all families can enjoy quality holiday gifts and meals no matter what their financial means, and all families can take pleasure in donating something to a common cause.
The program works by everyone involved donating something: volunteer time, new winter clothing, food cards, money, or new toys. Gift recipients are then invited to participate by either volunteering somewhere in the community for two hours or making a $10 donation to the market.
