the Spectacle is proud to partner with Generous Hearts for our Fall Food Drive!

Generous Hearts was founded 15 years ago by a local mom who saw firsthand how many kids at her son’s school were going hungry. What started as one person paying off lunch balances turned into one of the largest mobile food pantries in the state—sharing up to 16 tons of food in a single afternoon.

Over the years, Generous Hearts has kept hundreds of thousands of pounds of food out of landfills and fed families across New Mexico, California, and Texas. Their mission is simple: to feed people with dignity, compassion, and love—no questions asked.

We’re honored to help collect donations for this incredible cause. When you donate to Generous Hearts at the Spectacle, you will receive one raffle entry for every item donated (each can, box, package, etc.) the Spectacle will give out three $100 gift certificates for use in our store in three separate raffles from your donations.

Drop off location:

Now through December 31, 2025

Every can, box, or dollar helps feed a family right here in our community.

“Feeding people is loving people—and the best way to feed a hungry child is to feed their family.”

Hi neighbors,
My name is Travis, and my wife Nicole and I are excited to introduce ourselves and our small family business, the Spectacle. We’ve lived here in Rio Rancho for over 4 years, and we truly love being part of this wonderful community.
We opened the Spectacle here in Rio Rancho because we believe high quality eyewear, that is made well with care and attention to detail, does not have to be incredibly expensive. Yes, over years past, my father has made eyeglasses for some very well-known entertainers and celebrities like Elton John, Elvis, Blade Runner Movie Props, etc. We believe that everyone deserves the attention and care that was given to those celebrities and the custom eyeglasses they wore and could afford. What began as a personal passion has grown into something we are deeply proud of, and we’re grateful for the support of friends, family, and now—our neighbors!
You do not have to spend a fortune to get our best!
If your glasses are uncomfortable, need repair, adjustment or professional cleaning please stop by anytime. Adjustments and simple repairs are always free and come with a smile. We are progressive lens fitting experts. If your lenses do not perform the way you want them to, we can help. There are so many options available to you. You do not need to settle for less than the best, and you do not need to break the bank. We have options for almost any budget. We can help you see, look and feel better, and we’d love the opportunity to serve you. More than anything, we want to build real connections and contribute to our community in a positive way.
Thank you for taking a moment to read this and for welcoming us. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can ever help—or just to say hello!
Warmly,
Travis & Nicole Cottam
the Spectacle
