Make Merry Project

WE ARE CLOSED IN 2024. Providing a new holiday gift, book & stocking for kids ages 0-20 in the APS McKinney-Vento Program

Founded by Tiffany Gravelle, we're a group of friends, families, businesses, and community members who came together to make a lasting impact for needy families in the greater Albuquerque area. Our goal is to foster love, hope, and service to others. We work with the APS Title 1 Homeless (McKinney-Vento Program) to identify and communicate with families that will participate in the project.

We're heartbroken to have to close Make Merry Project in 2024. This has always been a true labor of love and 100% volunteer driven. We hope to be back in 2025. This season we ask that you continue to give and serve your community in any way you can. No gesture is too small. Lots of love from my family to yours, Tiffany ❤️💚

Thank you to AGC New Mexico for supporting Make Merry Project this year! Although our big adult shopping event has passed, I’m still serving local families (by referral only) that need gifts this weekend, and 2024 plans have already started!

By December of next year, our warehouse should be stuffed full! Want to get involved in serving 1,500+ homeless families next holiday season? 🎁www.makemerryproject.com

One more sleep until MAKE MERRY! The gifts have been shopped for and collected. The store is set. The incredible volunteers are prepped and ready.
