Every year, since 2017, the Denver VOICE has included an insert with wrapping paper designed by Denver VOICE vendors. This year, because we have thousands of sheets of wrapping paper from previous years, we felt it was best for the environment, our budget, and our limited storage space to include those unused inserts in our December issue. We will continue to share our vendors’ artwork through our ongoing greeting card program, and in early 2026, we plan to introduce wrapping paper that people can use year-round. Keep your eye out for more information on that. WINTER WISH LIST Drop-offs are accepted Wednesdays, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., or by appointment.

Readers view purchasing the paper as a way to immediately help a person who is poor or homeless while supporting long-term solutions to end poverty.
