Thousands of kids receive gifts for the holidays
Christmas is a week away, but that’s not stopping a school in Pueblo from giving gifts to kids in the Bessemer neighborhood.
The annual Bessemer Academy Christmas Gathering happened Friday. Thousands of kids packed the school to receive gifts for the holidays.
Santa Claus even paid a visit to ask boys and girls what they wanted for Christmas.
Kids also received Christmas stockings, clothes and food baskets.
Sue Carbajal said this event gives her grandchildren more gifts under the tree for the holidays.
“They love Santa Claus. They want to do face painting. It’s just a great community project. We came last year, and they just had a blast,” she said.
The event has been going on for 15 years, and the gifts were donations from different organizations in Pueblo.
