Science teacher Yelena Temple and the Ruidoso Middle School Student Council collected toiletries and donated them to the Nest.

HEAL & The Nest receive donations from the Korean Women’s International Network of Albuquerque, the Garland Street Church Sunday School Class from Plainview, TX, and Building Communities that Support Children’s Reading.

LCAL’s volunteers are trained in one-to-one tutoring and offer those services free of charge to adults 18+ in Lincoln County and Mescalero. “The program’s purpose is to improve quality of life for individuals and the betterment of the community,” explained Program Coordinator Deborah Abingdon.

Local photographer Bill Yorston is a friend of The Nest.

​The Deacon Bob Open is a very popular summer charity golf tournament held in the cool pines of Ruidoso and is now open for registration.

HEAL has made it a priority to collaborate with local and state-wide agencies who work to serve Native survivors and families and seek to eliminate violence against Native women and children.
