WNM Communications teams up with its employees to support 34 Local and National non-profit organizations with charitable donations throughout the communities it serves.

Silver City, NM, 9/14/18 – WNM Communications, “Southwest New Mexico’s Hometown Communications and Broadband Company,” has teamed up with its employees by allowing each employee to designate a non-profit charitable organization they would like a donation to be made directly to. Overall, fifty donations were made and while the majority stayed within our local communities, others designated national organizations. The American Red Cross and the Wounded Warrior Project benefited from the contributions which still impact local community members, along with their friends and family. Local organizations which were chosen include the Elks Disaster Relief Program (Lordsburg Elks), Apache Creek Deaf and Youth Ranch, Boys & Girls Club of Las Cruces, Cliff FFA Alumni, Cliff-Gila Fair Association, Clint Benjamin Memorial Team Roping, Cowboys for Cancer Research, El Grito Headstart, El Refugio, Friends of the Public Library, Gila Valley Baptist Church, High Desert Humane Society, Jornada Elementary PTO, Magdalena Old Timers, New Mexico Veteran Integration Center, Project Defending Life, New Mexico Wilderness Alliance, Rope 4 Hope, Santo Nino de Parada Catholic Church, Silver City Gospel Mission, Silver City Rotary Foundation, Silver Regional Sexual Assault Supportive Services, Tresco, The Lordsburg Wellness Coalition, Trinity Church and Southwest Center for Health Innovation.

In addition, WNM Communications’ President and General Manager, Matt Favre, awarded $10,000 which was split among the communities and counties served by WNMC. The GRMC Foundation, Deming Luna County Mainstreet Project, Magdalena Samaritan Center, The Lordsburg Wellness Coalition, Catron County Commission on Aging and the Cliff-Gila Fair Association were all awarded funds to help promote their mission. “Year after year WNM Communications has initiated our Fall charitable contribution plan to a number of well-deserved organizations. WNM has been a long-standing member of the communities we serve and makes every effort to select organizations that support the local needs of our communities. Our company donations and employees designated donations are a well-deserved donation to these organizations. Any beneficial impact small or large helps to sustain these organizations’ efforts of giving back to support their mission. Hopefully other organizations and individuals will take note and donate also,” Favre said.

WNM Communications strives to serve local communities with the best communications and broadband services available and finds great joy in giving back and helping the community in every way they can. In 2018, WNM Communications has supported local communities with contributions totaling approximately $50,000.
