Santa Fe Watershed Association
Since 1997, the Santa Fe Watershed Association has played an integral role in protecting the health and vibrancy of the Santa Fe River and its watershed though education, restoration, stewardship, and advocacy. As they celebrate 25 years, they reflect on victories of all sizes:
· Protecting the riverbed from gravel mining in Agua Fria
· Advocating for and helping pass the Living River Ordinance
· Assisting in the development of a Municipal Watershed Management Plan
· Supporting and connecting stakeholders from around the watershed through various projects and the Santa Fe River Traditional Communities Collaborative
· Teaching thousands of 5th graders about water conservation stewardship through the My Water, My Watershed Program
· Working with thousands of volunteers to remove tens of thousands of pounds of trash from the Santa Fe River and arroyos
· Constructing over 50 rain gardens around the city to help manage storm water
The Santa Fe Watershed Association is so grateful to their many partners, volunteers, and donors who have made these accomplishments possible, and who continue to support all the work still to do.
La Clínica del Pueblo de Río Arriba
La Clínica del Pueblo de Río Arriba has been a trusted healthcare provider in northern New Mexico for more than 50 years, ensuring families in rural and remote communities can access quality, culturally responsive care close to home. Serving as a primary source of care for infants, toddlers, and caregivers in Rio Arriba County, the clinic recently launched La Clínica Baby Essentials — a new “baby bank” offering essential supplies, parenting education, and infant health screenings.
The Food Depot
Families need more than groceries to stay healthy and stable. That is why The Food Depot also operates Diaper Depot, providing diapers, wipes, and resources to hundreds of families each month. This wraparound program supports household well-being and helps families stay on a stronger path toward food security.
McCurdy Ministries
Local nonprofit McCurdy Ministries shares their story, including the early childhood programs that support young children and families in the Española Valley, offering care, education, and essential resources during critical early years.
