Red Mountain Family Services

🌾🤎 Gratitude Spotlight 🤎🌾

A huge THANK YOU to two of Red Mountain’s incredible Board Members, Daniel Montoya and Dana Wilson, for taking time out of their busy schedules to serve our bio families and foster youth at our Annual Thanksgiving Event.

Your presence, compassion, and willingness to show up for our community means more than words can say. You didn’t just help serve a meal — you helped create connection, warmth, and joy for families who deserve to feel supported and seen.

We’re proud to have leaders who lead with heart, service, and integrity.
Thank you for standing with Red Mountain and for pouring into the children and families of New Mexico. 🧡🦃✨
