Albertsons Market donates $44,803 to The Salvation Army New Mexico for flood relief efforts in Ruidoso
RUIDOSO, N.M. — On Wednesday, The United Family presented The Salvation Army New Mexico with a donation of $44,803.95 for flood relief efforts across the community of Ruidoso.
In July, The United Family launched a donate-at-the-register fundraising campaign in all Albertsons Market and Market Street locations across the state to raise funds for flood relief efforts in the area. In addition to launching the campaign, the company made a lead gift of $5,000 to help kick off the effort.
“As always, we are incredibly grateful to our guests for their generosity and willingness to step up and help their neighbors in need following the horrible flooding this summer,” said John Jameson, regional vice president for The United Family. “We’re also thankful to organizations like The Salvation Army New Mexico who are working to help the community recover.”
When disaster strikes, The Salvation Army New Mexico stands ready to provide food, drinks, emotional and spiritual care and other emergency services to survivors and first responders. The funds donated today will go directly to supporting relief efforts in the Ruidoso community.
“The Salvation Army wishes to give our heartfelt thanks to The United Family and all the generous customers who donated to help their neighbors in need in Ruidoso,” said Lt. Colonel Charles Fowler, Commander of The Salvation Army Southwest Division, which serves New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern Nevada. “Such compassion from the community ensures that people in crisis receive the immediate and long-term support they need to heal, rebuild, and move forward with strength. Together, we fight natural disasters with acts of God.”
