Crunch Fitness and Friday Night Muchies Host Toy Drive in Yuma

Crunch Fitness and local food vendor Friday Night Muchies announced a community toy drive to take place on Friday November 28 at Hyundai of Yuma on 32nd Street from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Organizers asked residents to bring new toys and nonperishable food items to support children and households in Yuma County during the holiday period.

The evening will include vendor booths, special guests, and multiple raffles. Every donor will be eligible for raffle entry, with prizes highlighted by a one year Crunch Fitness membership. The event is timed for Black Friday to capture holiday traffic and encourage participation from shoppers and local families looking to combine seasonal activities with charitable giving.

For Yuma County residents the drive carries both social and economic meaning. Collecting toys and nonperishable food can reduce immediate household spending stress for families facing higher costs during the holiday season, while providing tangible assistance to children who might otherwise go without gifts. Vendors at the event gain exposure to several hours of concentrated foot traffic, and the host location at Hyundai of Yuma stands to benefit from increased community engagement and potential customer leads.

This local partnership also reflects a broader trend of businesses and community groups filling gaps in social support during peak need times. By coordinating on a high visibility date and offering incentives such as raffle prizes, organizers aim to boost turnout and the volume of donations. Residents who cannot donate items can still attend to support vendors and view community resources.

Organizers encouraged community members to mark their calendars for November 28 and bring new toys or shelf stable food items to Hyundai of Yuma between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. The announcement was published on November 25, 2025, and serves as a reminder that local efforts can mobilize resources and goodwill to help Yuma County families through the holidays.
