ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Christmas arrived early at the Salt Yard East on Osuna Road Saturday Morning.
Tiffany Gravelle, founder of the Make Merry Project, organized a book and toy drive for families experiencing homelessness, where parents were able to pick out a toy, a book, and a stocking stuffer for their kids. So they actually get to come in and select their items, and we have gift wrap going on, and we have hot cocoa. It s been an amazing day,” Gravelle said.
Gravelle said they surpassed their goal of collecting 750 toys and gifts and ended up collecting 875 items total, which she expects will serve about 255 families.
