NNM TOY DRIVE NEWS RELEASE

The Northern New Mexico Toy Drive’s 2026 campaign will run from November 18 through December 25, bringing community donations to children and families across the region. Organizers aim to support approximately 10,000 children through more than 50 local partner organizations.

Now in its 16th year, the Toy Drive began with Santa Fe firefighters helping local families and has grown through the work of volunteers, businesses, donors and community partners. During Covid EXIT Realty Advantage took over and has run the Toy Drive since.

Community members can donate a new, unwrapped toy or contribute online. Visit ExitToyDrive.com for donation information and the current map of participating drop-off locations. The broader campaign runs through Christmas Day; with December 18 as the end of the physical toy collection window. Please check the website for current drop-off instructions and contact the organizers about donations after that date.

The Toy Drive works through local partners to reach children in communities across Northern New Mexico, including Santa Fe, Taos, Española and Rio Arriba County, Las Vegas, Albuquerque and the Eastern Navajo Nation.

The Northern New Mexico Toy Drive is a community-supported effort that distributes holiday gifts to children through local partner organizations across Northern New Mexico with a focus on healthy activities such as sports, art, music, and dance.

We strive to put as much of the money raised into buying gifts from locally run businesses. Our aim is always to support the community that supports us and these children.
