Us in Roswell are doing our best to help out all evacuees. My church home, Church on the Move is one of many places offering refuge to people who have been forced from their home. We have accommodations in the main sanctuary as well as clothes, shoes, toiletries, blanket, pillows, food, and water. Was there serving today and was able to help out. It is so sad seeing so many people displaced from their homes but we are continuing to pray for New Mexico and are doing our best to provide exceptional hospitality and support to all evacuees out of the Ruidoso area.

I used to live in Albuquerque. So I'm guessing the smoke is filtering up into that area. Glad I'm not there to breath that stuff.
