Carlsbad NM Toys for Tots

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. ❤️

🎄✨ Holiday Gratitude Spotlight ✨🎄

A huge festive thank you to Kingdom Elite Tumbling and Cheer! Even with competition this weekend, they paused their training to come lend us a hand sorting and bagging toys.

They worked together like a well‑oiled machine and absolutely knocked it out of the park. 💪🎁

It warms our hearts to see young athletes stepping up and giving back to the community. Your energy, teamwork, and generosity made a big difference — and we are so grateful! ❤️

🎁 What an incredible day at Walmart in Artesia, NM! 🎁

A huge shoutout to the amazing team there who went above and beyond—not only did they generously donate funds to benefit Eddy County kids, but they also shut down three registers just to help us check out all of our toys! Talk about holiday spirit in action!

After countless steps, 20 overflowing baskets, and three carloads later, we’ve officially kicked off the season with a bang! 🚗🎄🧸

Endless thanks to Patricia Ponce and the entire Walmart Artesia crew for your kindness, energy, and heart. You’ve made a big difference for so many children this year!

What does good look like? It looks like the team for Devon. They showed up for the 2024 drive winning the oilfield challenge between the big producers in the area. We were able to provide 4 to 5 toys to over 1200 Eddy County kids. If you know a Devon employee make sure you thank them for being an amazing community partner.

Another successful year!!! A special thanks to all of the vendors and volunteers. Without you we would not be able to pull this off. A very special thank you to Mama E's who changed her plans this weekend to provide a meal for our CYFD families. The food is always amazing and she did not disappoint.
