Words cannot express how grateful I am to our amazing community!
This year was tough for Eddy County families, but thanks to your generosity, we were able to make Christmas brighter for so many children.
✨ What we accomplished together:
•Assisted nearly 1,600 children with toys, books, and more.
•The Boys & Girls Club received sports balls and books for their kids.
•Every child in Head Start got a toy and a book.
•STEM activities went to the homeschool group.
•Tons of toys were donated to the Eddy County Sheriff’s Department.
United Way joined us during distribution to provide hygiene kits to families in need.
A special thank you to MaMa E's Food Truck & Catering for donating a meal for our foster families. When asked, Mama E jumped in with both feet—cooking kids’ favorites (chicken strips and mac & cheese) and even organizing cookie decorating kits with other vendors. The kids enjoyed their desert charcuterie board!Truly above and beyond!
The oilfield companies showed up in full Christmas spirit:
•ExxonMobil made a substantial donation, allowing us to purchase 2,000 toys.
•Devon Energy gathered almost 900 toys.
•Kodiak contributed plenty of goodies as well.
And to my incredible volunteers—you are the heart of this effort:
•Kim and the Kingdom Elite Tumbling and Performance Cheer crew showed up just days before competition.
•The BPA kids from CECHS worked tirelessly for hours.
Thank you all for making Christmas 2025 the best yet! Your kindness and generosity remind us what community truly means. ❤️
