A huge thank you to our wonderful friends at Sunward Banking for hosting us during the soft launch of their new branch here in the South Valley!

We’re excited to welcome them to the community and look forward to building a strong partnership that supports and uplifts small food businesses throughout the South Valley.
Thank you, Sunward Banking, for investing in our local entrepreneurs and helping strengthen our community!

On our table today we are highlighting our clients: Dulce Tradicion Sweet Pea Bakery, Señor D’s Nutz, New Mexico Sabor LLC. NM Prickly Pear Jelly, and Chile Revival.

🎅🎄Last Friday, SVEDC hosted its first-ever Toy Drive Distribution, and it was a truly special evening! The room was filled with joy, love, and gratitude from our community. We are so thankful to have been able to bring an event like this to life for over 40+ local families.🎅🎄

A huge thank you to everyone who donated toys and supported this effort. A special shoutout to our sponsors, The Garrity Group and Singleton Schreiber. Your contributions went far beyond financial support, you helped brighten the holidays for many families in need.

We’d also like to thank our amazing collaborators: Enlace Comunitario, Access NM, and Kirtland Credit Union. Together, we ensured that as many families as possible had a joyful holiday season.

Thank you, everyone, for making this event a success!
