Northern New Mexico Toy Drive

🛒📦 When folks shop from our Amazon Wishlist, sometimes we get a little note, and it absolutely makes our day. We are so grateful for the items we received this year for the nearly 10,000 kiddos on our list! 🧸🎄 If we missed your little note, we are so grateful for you and everyone!

A HUGE thank you to: 🙌

Our biggest week of the toy drive sees nearly 6000 toys delivered to our benefiting organizations, shopping, sorting, and distributing. We couldn’t do it without our amazing partners, sponsors, drop off locations, delivery drivers, shoppers, and retail workers who check out our 3 foot long receipts! A couple more distributions next week, and put a bow on it, we’re done!

🎁💚 Huge Thank You to Our Drop-Off Location Partners! 💚🎁

Each year, our incredible drop-off locations bring in almost 1/3 of all the toys we collect for the Northern NM Toy Drive. We truly CANNOT do this without them.

Please take a moment to check out the full list of partner locations on our site, and consider stopping by their businesses —
➡️ to drop off a new, unwrapped toy, and/or
➡️ to see what other amazing goods and services they offer our communities.

When you support them, you’re also supporting 10,000 kids across Northern New Mexico.

To all of our drop-off partners:
THANK YOU for opening your doors, your floorspace, and your hearts to this drive every year. We are SO, SO grateful for you. 🥹❤️
