Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
Today’s family in need: “I received a phone call from a single mom who has three children,” said Salvation Army Corps Officer Lt. Kelly Berggren. “Two are over 12, the age limit we help with toys. Her story touched my heart as she left an abusive relationship with her three children, and is trying to start a new life as a single mom.”
Not much has gone her way as her kids are acting out the aggression they have come to know.
The family is receiving counseling and is asking for help so they may have a normal Christmas.
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.
