Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities

Empty stocking fund - Nov. 28

Today’s family in need: This young couple needs help.

The father has been jailed in the last year and is having a hard time finding employment, according to Salvation Army Lt. Kelly Berggren.

“From my perspective, he is doing the right things to turn his life around. Their son just turned 1 and started walking. The parents would love to have presents for their child,” Berggren said.

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 P.O. Box 1689, Clovis 88101) and Portales (101 E. First St. or P.O. Box 848, Portales 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.
