Help Ruidoso

Hi, I'm Patrick Tuttle, the real estate guy with Coldwell Banker Heritage and Legacy Management Services in El Paso, Texas. Tonight, I'm reaching out for some assistance from you, your friends, and your neighbors-anybody who can help. We're seeking aid for our friends and neighbors in the Ruidoso, New Mexico area who have lost nearly everything due to recent evacuations. Albertsons and several restaurants have burned down, and over 1400 structures have been affected by the fire. We need to collect items here in El Paso to take up to Ruidoso once residents are allowed to return and assess the damage.
Starting tomorrow, June 20, 2024, we will begin collecting canned goods, non-perishable foods, water, sports drinks, clothing, and other essential items. Please note, we are unable to accept monetary donations-those should be directed to the American Red Cross. You can drop off donations at our offices on both the East and West sides. We'll collect everything and transport it to Ruidoso this weekend, once the evacuation order is lifted and residents can return.
You can reach me at 915-588-1850. Even better, please consider purchasing water or food items to donate. Drop them off at 5915 Silver Springs, Building Five, starting tomorrow and throughout next week. If you're on the East side, you can also visit our office at 2290 Trawood to drop off goods. We're committed to delivering whatever we can fit in our trucks to Ruidoso, and if needed, we'll arrange for additional trucks.
Again, please remember that monetary donations should be sent directly to the American Red Cross, earmarked for relief efforts in and around the Ruidoso, New Mexico area. Thank you for your support. God bless you, and make it a great day!
