Las Vegas, N.M. – The City of Las Vegas has delivered a third truckload of essential supplies to Ruidoso, New Mexico, continuing its commitment to support a neighboring community in crisis.
Ruidoso continues to face the devastating aftermath of recent wildfires followed by severe flooding.

City Manager Robert A. Anaya and Mayor David Romero led last week’s delivery effort, accompanied by Project/Program/Outreach Liaison Jimmy Saiz and Public Works Director Arnold Lopez. During their visit, they met with Ruidoso Mayor Lynn Crawford, Village Manager Ron and Fire Chief Cade Hall and toured several of the hardest-hit areas to better understand the community's ongoing needs.
The City of Las Vegas will continue accepting donations for Ruidoso through August 31. Community members are encouraged to contribute what they can to help ease the burden on families and individuals still struggling.
Items currently being accepted include:
