Christmas Update!





VRROOM! Thank you to everyone who has come to the rescue and called in to help deliver Christmas meals! We have had an amazing outpouring of people who want to help. Isn't great to live in a place where people care about one another. We have a back-up list in case some people have a change of plans or it snows and some people are not comfortable driving. If you would like to be placed on the reserve list, please call the Rescue Mission at (575) 523-7727. Thank you for all your help.


We do have a need for volunteers in other places. Please see below. Thank you so much and may you have the best Christmas and holidays full of hope and love.


We have a need for Christmas Toys for boys! Balls (basketballs, soccar balls, and footballs) are terrific presents that can be great for many different ages!



If you would like to help give a Christmas toy to a child who may not have one this Christmas, bring a toy by the Rescue Mission, 1050 W. Amador anytime before Saturday, December 24th, or help with the toy distribution on Saturday. We need volunteers for two different shifts:



9:30 AM- 12:00 Noon



and



11:30 AM to 1:30 PM







Thank you! Last year, we had 715 children pick out presents! We expect many kids this year! The event is going to be held at Church on the Rock on Solano. They have offered to let us use their building which is much larger than any at the Rescue Mission. Please call LuAnne at (575) 644-9563 or Linda at (575) 522-0203 if you would like to volunteer or have questions. Thank you!
