HMS employees recently came together with a heartfelt idea to support community members in need by creating Blessing Bags, care packages filled with essential items and encouraging, handwritten notes. These bags are designed to offer practical support while also serving as a reminder that every person deserves dignity, compassion, and hope.

This effort has already made a meaningful impact, and the HMS Employee Wellness Committee is excited to expand the initiative to include both HMS employees and community members across Grant and Hidalgo Counties. Anyone who would like to get involved can contribute by donating essential items to help us continue this important work. You may drop off donations at the Lordsburg, Tranquil Skies, or CHC (Silver City) HMS clinic locations.

These Blessing Bags will be distributed to individuals in need and placed in local Blessing Boxes throughout Hidalgo and Grant Counties. Every donation, big or small, helps us spread kindness, care, and support to those who need it most.
