McBride and Nogal Canyon Donations and Volunteer Update

Thank you for all the offers for donations and volunteers! This is an ongoing crisis and please be patient as we work to gather information and get it out to the public.

The Red Cross has set up at the Ruidoso Convention Center if you have been evacuated. They have food and water for those individuals who have been evacuated and first responders.

If you have animals or livestock that need to be evacuated please contact the Ruidoso Animal Shelter, Lincoln County Fairgrounds, Otero County Fairgrounds, Chaves County Fairgrounds, and Roswell Animal Shelters. If you are looking to help with animals or livestock, or have donations for animals, please contact one of these organizations.

Some ways you can help:

- The Red Cross is currently at capacity for Volunteers. We are making a list of names and telephone numbers of potential volunteers. We will contact you when we have a need.

- Water, Gatorade, pre-packaged food, and toiletries can be dropped off at Village Hall located at 313 Cree Meadows Dr., Ruidoso, NM 88345

- If you are in need of blankets, nonperishables, clothing, kid stuff, etc., or would like to donate items please drop them off at 122 Carrizo Canyon Rd, Ruidoso, NM 88345

Please DO NOT take items to the Ruidoso High School, the Ruidoso Convention Center or the Ruidoso Fire Station #1.
