Kevin began helping at the shelter by volunteering to do yard work such as weed eating and tree trimming. That work evolved into fixing broken items, transferring the shelter’s considerable recyclables to the recycle plant and moving heavy items.

Sweet Charity continues to be a clean retail shop with high-quality, gently-used items. Local photographer Pat Deleon Brent has photoshoot to show off some awesome clothing found at Sweet Charity.

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