Launched in 2015, Chihuahuas Paws for Presents started as a new and unwrapped toy drive with distribution centers around the El Paso region. It has since evolved into a monetary drive to ensure each child receives a new toy and each gift provided coincides with the child’s respective age. Since 2021, the drive resulted in more than 1,000 toys and gifts purchased for the Child Crisis Center in time for the holiday season.

The Child Crisis Center was opened in 1980 and serves to “protect children from abuse and neglect by providing shelter, advocacy and family support services,” according to the website.

Toys and items purchased from the donations will be distributed to the Child Crisis Center beginning the week of December 11, 2023. Days and times will be announced at a later time.
