Congratulations Mary JO

🌻 Meet Mary Jo Giddings, one of our very first Bronze Arvada Police Foundation members!

For more than five decades, Mary Jo has poured her heart into Arvada. She volunteered at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities since its doors first opened in 1976, served on the board of the Arvada Historical Society, given her time to the Arvada Vitality Alliance, and organized Arvada's beloved Garden Tours. Generations of neighbors know her as one of the keepers of our city's story.

Her service hasn't gone unnoticed: Mary Jo is a former Arvada Woman of the Year and a recipient of the Arvada Chamber of Commerce's rare Pioneer Award, reserved for those who have shaped this community in lasting ways. As she once said, volunteering makes our lives "richer, more meaningful, more joyful."

Now she stands with our officers as a charter Bronze member of the Arvada Police Foundation, and we are proud and honored to have her with us. Thank you, Mary Jo, for a lifetime of showing up for Arvada and for your support of our Arvada Police and the Arvada Police Foundation. 💙
