COUNTY News:
Los Alamos County and United Way of Northern New Mexico (UWNNM) thank employees and the community for their generosity during the CommuniTree “Kindled Hearts for Warm Homes” drive Nov. 22 through Dec. 31, 2022.
The two organizations partnered to collect warm weather apparel and everyday essentials, as well as raise funds for families impacted by the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire and subsequent flooding in Taos, San Miguel and Mora counties earlier this year.
Individuals donated more than 300 items to families in need, including warm weather apparel for children and adults, food and self-care essentials. In addition, individuals had the opportunity to sign-up to give to UWNNM on a monthly basis through their payroll or give to a variety of non-profit organizations directly.
Several non-profit organizations are working in northern New Mexico to help in the recovery efforts following the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire that burned 341,735 acres in the spring and summer of 2022, destroying at least 903 structures and damaging 85 more.
