Congratulations to all who provided Smith’s gift cards and the funds for same. Together, with the Sandoval County Federation of Democratic Women and friends and members of St. Paul’s, gift cards amounting to $1,405 were presented to Jarmaine McChriston (pictured here) on April 21. He and his boss, Lee Roberts, have devised a plan for distribution to the families they work with. This provides transparency for the completion of the project.

Our current efforts for the St. Paul’s Feed the Kids program are now concluded. If additional needs arise during the summer, and we are able to help, that information will be sent out immediately. In the meantime, we can anticipate that if school opens in the fall we will be prepared to provide weekend packets again in September. This means we will begin collecting food during August. Of course, all of this depends on the Corona-virus situation at that time.

Again, thanks to all who participated and for what you have done to help meet the needs of struggling families in Rio Rancho. There are so many deserving places seeking funds during this crisis, so your support of St. Paul’s Feed the Kids means even more.
