With eminent budget cuts, we recognize the importance of the New Year's Eve Ball more than ever.  We need dedicated volunteers to join the team to help make the 5th Annual Roses in Winter New Year's Eve Ball the most successful Ball ever!

 

The funding helps us to continue to provide services.  In 2009, Family Crisis Center served over 6,000 individuals through our various programs!  Because we know that domestic violence crosses all lines, we know that everyone knows someone who has been helped by our services. 

 

If you are interested in volunteering your time and talents, call Alma at 505-325-3549 or alma@familycrisiscenternm.org
to see how you can help us!
