SANDOVAL COUNTY, N.M. (KRQE) – The Sandoval County Treasurer’s Office is teaming up with the Nacimiento Community Foundation in Cuba, NM to make sure those who need a little help get a Thanksgiving meal.

Donations of non-perishable food will be accepted until November 17.

“Because of the success experienced the past two years with our food and toy drives, we decided to continue the tradition again this year. We have seen that our county comes together as a community to help those who are enduring tough times, demonstrating the true meaning of the holiday season,” said Sandoval Co. Treasurer Jennifer Taylor. “Also, if anyone would like to donate a turkey(s), please bring them to the Sandoval County Administration building on
Wednesday, November 15, 2023, by 10:00 a.m. so that they can be delivered to the Sandoval County Fair Grounds on the day of the Thanksgiving food distribution. Your generosity is most appreciated,”
