Donations of coats, jackets, mittens, and more sought for seniors
Bernalillo, NM, November 1—Sandoval County’s Prevention and Intervention Programs and Senior Program are partnering to collect warm clothing items and blankets for county seniors in need.

Regarding the Warm Clothing Drive, Community Services Director Anne Ryan shared, “We look forward to the community’s support of this effort.

Any assistance that helps to mitigate colder conditions during the winter months is always helpful, and we appreciate the community’s support.”
