You Need Nature. Now Nature Needs You!
Join us for a festive evening in support of the Santa Fe Conservation Trust and our local lands, trails, and our collective passion for the outdoors. Enjoy great food and drink, music, an auction, and be part of the powerful conversation about our path forward with Ambassadors Tom Udall and Ken Salazar, former Cochiti Pueblo Governor Regis Pecos, and historian Dr. Sara Dant. Come attired in your best Flora and Fauna inspired regalia to compete for the Best-Dressed award!

This year’s Albuquerque Day of Caring focuses on food insecurity in New Mexico, where 1 in 5 children and 1 in 8 residents face hunger. Join us for a community food drive on Saturday, October 11, from 9 AM to 1 PM at Winrock Town Park. Bring non-perishable food items to support grassroots pantries across our five-county region. Contributions also help fund UWNCNM’s grantmaking efforts, directly benefiting local families.

The event will also include a resource fair with community partners, an ALICE Simulation to better understand the challenges of living paycheck to paycheck, and a conversation with local pantry leaders about how we can work together to fight hunger.

Sound & Spirit: A Celebration of Haitian Art and Music is a special benefit presenting the extraordinary recycled art work of Najee, a Haitian artist based in Port-au-Prince.

We are delighted to announce that HopeWorks is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Since 1985, we have been at the forefront of providing shelter and supportive services to the homeless community in the city of Albuquerque.

This special event not only commemorates four decades of service but also helps us raise crucial funds to continue and expand our efforts to support those in need. The gala will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025, at the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC), and it promises to be an evening of impactful stories, entertainment, and community spirit.
