The Altrusa Club works throughout Lincoln County to improve the quality of life for so many people. The volunteers are kind and non judgmental. This is an organization who understands the principals of service and integrity.
The Ruidoso chapter of Altrusa serves several important groups within our community. It has historically been known by its annual mammogram program, which helps women who couldn't otherwise afford it to fight against breast cancer. It has also contributed monthly donations to a local battered women's shelter in a community that is severely affected by violence and abuse, the local food bank, and many other programs, as well as supporting literacy (true to Altrusa's mission).
