Last Chance to Help DPNM Support Troops Serving Overseas

Today, December 19, 2009, the Democratic Party of New Mexico will be collecting and sorting items donated by New Mexican Democrats from across the state to send to troops overseas who will be away from loved ones this holiday season.

The items will be sorted at the DPNM Headquarters located at 1301 San Pedro Northeast in Albuquerque from 11 AM to 4 PM. Many Democrats coming from across the state will be on-hand to participate in this activity, including Congressman Ben Ray Lujan (NM-3).

Democratic Party of New Mexico Chairman Javier Gonzales issued the following statement thanking those who have shown support for this initiative:

"The many Democrats who will be participating in tomorrow's event shows that none of us are too busy during this holiday season to stop to remember the sacrifice that our service men and women make to our State and Country."

Items for the troops can be delivered and monetary donations can be made today at the DPNM Headquarters between 11 AM and 4 PM. Click for a list of needed items.
