GIVE & GLOW
with The Bugg Lights
The Bugg Lights have always been about community — families gathering, kids laughing, and neighbors sharing a little light with one another. Many visitors choose to bring canned goods or pantry staples, knowing they'll go straight to Storehouse Albuquerque and support local families who could use an extra hand this season.
If you feel inspired to give, simply drop your items into the donation bin as you enjoy the display. Every contribution, no matter the size, becomes part of the tradition and helps spread the warmth far beyond our yard.
