THE EMERGENCY WINTER SHELTER IN ALBUQUERQUE IS GETTING A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE FOR IT’S RESIDENTS. THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO HOSPITAL IS DONATING 75 GENTLY USED MATTRESSES TO THE FACILITY. ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR R-J BERRY SAYS THE MATTRESSES ARE BADLY NEEDED.
ALONG WITH THE NEW BEDDING, BERNALILLO COUNTY IS DONATING 5-THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR LINENS AND OTHER NEEDS.
LAST YEAR, NEARLY 200 PEOPLE USED THE CITY’S EMERGENCY SHELTER EACH NIGHT.
