El Refugio (ERI) operates the Casa Carmel Shelter for battered women/men and their children, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Temporary shelter is provided for up to 90 days with 30 day reviews. Safety and security are provided along with case management services and educational programs.
El Refugio's Casa Carmel Shelter, a doorway to a new life without violence, a doorway to reclaiming control and restoring self-respect. We provide classes that deal with dynamics of domestic violence and ways to break the cycle. We are able to do this work because of the dedication and continuous support of [Volunteers] from the community.
El Refugio, Inc. is excited to share that our nonprofit was selected to participate in “The PNM Power Kick” on September 18th at the NM United Game. It was incredible!
We had the opportunity to be awarded $2500 while getting our work out to thousands of NM United Fans. Additionally, KOB4 interviewed Executive Director, Rachel Sierra to promote El Refugio’s work. The commercial aired for two weeks.
During the game a fan was selected from the stands to attempt three goals that could earn up to $2500, courtesy of PNM shareholders. Nine year old Arthur Bell was selected to kick the ball, the three attempts were successful! Thank you Arthur! Attending the event was Executive Director; Rachel Sierra, Financial Director; Selah Lee Bencomo, Shelter Director; Linda M. Tollefson, and Victim Advocate; Clarissa Sierra.
El Refugio, Inc. was awarded $2500. Thank you PNM, Bruce Ashburn and Arthur Bell.
