GRANTS, N.M. – Roberta’s Place has launched its annualAngelTree, offering Cibola County residents a simple way to brighten the holidays for children in families impacted by domestic violence. The tree is set up at the agency’s offices at 807 E. Roosevelt Ave. in Grants, where community members are invited to stop by, knock, and select a tag.
Each Angel Tree tag lists a child’s age, gender, and a few of their likes or needs to help donors shop with intention and care. Once gifts are purchased, donors can return them to Roberta’s Place, where staff will distribute them to local families in time for Christmas.
Founded in 1996, Roberta’s Place is a nonprofit that provides free shelter, counseling, transportation, advocacy, and support services for victims of domestic violence and their children throughout Cibola County, including the Laguna, Acoma andRamahcommunities.The organization also offers educational programs and works with schools, law enforcement, courts, and community groups to prevent and reduce domestic violence.
