Dec. 30—The Empty Stocking Fund at the Santa Fe Community Foundation in partnership with The Santa Fe New Mexican is a community benefit project first started by The New Mexican 43 years ago. Each year, hundreds of people receive aid from the fund during the holiday season to help cover rent payments, medical bills, utility costs, car repairs, home improvements and other needs.
Who it helps: Applicants, who must live in Rio Arriba or Santa Fe counties and must provide documents that prove their identity, are considered without regard to race, age, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation. Applications for aid are currently on pause because of overwhelming demand.
2024 goal: $475,000; however, there are already over $500,000 in requests.
