PSA 7/11/2025 4:00 p.m.: Donations for Ruidoso Continue – Thank You, Las Vegas!

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our community for your incredible generosity. Your support is making a real impact. Just yesterday, we delivered a large shipment of boxed water to Ruidoso—and we’re preparing to send our first full load of supplies early next week.

But the need is ongoing.

Ruidoso is still facing a long recovery from recent wildfires and the continued threat of flooding. Many areas remain under a boil water advisory, making clean water and essential hygiene items top priorities.

·         Bottled water

·         Tissue Paper

·         Laundry detergent

·         Dish soap

·         Wet wipes / Baby wipes

·         Hand sanitizer

·         Clorox (disinfecting) wipes
