The restaurant will be accepting donation at 1300 El Paseo Rd, Las Cruces, NM 88001, from June 10th -June 12th from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Items needed

• Non-perishable food, bottled water, baby supplies (formula, diapers, wipes)
• First-aid items (bandages, antiseptic). Other helpful donations include clothing, bedding, and tools for cleanup.

You can also donate your time, Georgi Donchetz spokesperson with The American Red Cross says because of the climate crisis, disasters are more frequent and more intense so the need for volunteers is growing exponentially.

"Volunteers make up 90% of our organization. So without our volunteers, we would not be able to respond like we are in Ruidoso right now and across the country to the many disasters that are happening." Donchetz said.
