THE SHELTER FUND
The Shelter Fund’s mission is to provide financial assistance to year-round residents of Lincoln County, NM who have experienced hardship due to natural disasters, such as fire and floods. Our goal is to support those who find themselves without shelter by assisting with expenses such as evacuation costs, temporary housing and repairs. Grants are subject to the availability of funds, which are solely based on donations.​
