2000 Organizations not listed in United Way brochure can receive donations Employees may not be aware of the opportunity to contribute to a couple of other organizations through their United Way donations, specifically L.A.M.E.S.A. and Hope Pregnancy Center. They also work and train in conjunction with many of the other emergency response teams and organizations in northern New Mexico such as the Mountain Canine Corps, La Cueva Volunteer Fire Department, and the Los Alamos Fire Brigade. Another recent addition to the services has been to provide youth with the opportunity to serve 'community service' time mandated by the courts by assisting with tasks around the community. Most recently teams from LA and the state provided traffic control, communications, fire fighting, and logistics during the Cerro Grande fire. All of the L.A.M.E.S.A. team funding comes from donations and most comes directly out of team member pockets.
Donations are tax deductible.
