Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
Today’s Focus: Family C
Household members: 4
Children: 2
Special circumstance: This is a separating service member and his fiance, along with her two boys ages 11 and eight. The veteran is hoping to find work once his military paperwork is processed, and the mother is attending school to become a paralegal. The mother is currently not working because she had surgery earlier this year, but is hoping to find a job soon. Until she finds employment, she is supporting her children through scholarships.
Who’s helped: More than 200 families who’ve asked the Salvation Army to help make Christmas special.
Donations: Clovis, can be dropped off at the Clovis News Journal, 521 Pile St., or mailed to P.O. Box 1689, Clovis, NM 88102. Portales, can be dropped off at the Portales News-Tribune, 101 E. 1st St., or mailed to P.O. 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 office, 317 E. Second St., Clovis, or gifts may be purchased for specific children under 12 years old by choosing an Angel tag off special trees located at North Plains Mall, the Curry County Courthouse and Diamonds Evermore. Toys can be dropped off with their Angel tag at any of those locations and the Clovis/Curry Chamber of Commerce.
