City Host's Appreciation Reception for Flood Volunteers

During recent flooding in Portales, the Eastern New Mexico Football Team volunteered to help the community. With their help, sandbags were filled to provide to the citizens, to prevent their homes from flooding. The First Baptist Church also helped by providing a meal for the football players that were filling sandbags. Thank you to both groups for their efforts and community pride.
