DPNM Holiday Donation Drive for Troops

Almost everyone knows a member of our Armed Services, either active duty or retired. Members of our military are often sent to the most dangerous of locations -- and often over the holidays.

All of us have a father, mother, brother, sister, family member or friend who is serving our Country this holiday season.

It is important for us all to remember that the stresses of serving overseas and being away from loved ones are magnified during the holiday season.

To this end, the Democratic Party of New Mexico is sponsoring a "Care Package Collection" with Blue Star Mothers of New Mexico to collect items for personalized care packages for our New Mexico troops serving overseas.

Items to be included range from protein bars to trail mix to personal care items such as lotion and sunscreen. We are also collecting monetary contributions to help defray the costs of shipping the packages overseas. (A complete list of items can be found here.)

We will be accepting donations through Saturday, December 19th both in our party headquarters and at various campaign offices throughout the Albuquerque area.

For more information on how you can help this cause, please contact Marisa at the DPNM by calling 505-830-3650 or e-mailing info@nmdemocrats.org

On behalf of New Mexico's Troops, thank you for your help and support!
