Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities

Empty stocking fund

Today’s family in need: This single mother of four children is struggling to get by. Her children range from age 4 to 16. The mom recently turned her life around by leaving an abusive situation and completing an addiction program.

“Though there were years of dysfunction, this family is heading in the right direction and could use a little extra help this Christmas,” said Salvation Army Corps Officer Lt. Kelly Berggren.

About the Empty Stocking Fund: The fund is a joint venture of the Salvation Army and The Eastern New Mexico News. The fund helps low-income families with toys, food and clothing.

How to help: The Eastern New Mexico News is accepting Empty Stocking Fund donations at its newspaper offices in Clovis (521 Pile St. or PO Box 1689, Clovis NM 88101) and Portales (101 E. First St. or PO Box 848, Portales NM 88130).

Envelopes should be clearly marked “Empty Stocking Fund.” Checks must be payable to The Salvation Army. Contributions will be forwarded to The Salvation Army.
