Thousands of New Mexicans across the state directly benefit from the efforts of PNM employee volunteers.

Our volunteer projects focus on results that are important to the community and employees, such as weatherizing the homes of low-income senior citizens or helping to restore the environment. In addition, employees are encouraged to serve on the board of directors of nonprofit organizations.

Some examples of PNM employees making a difference:

• After a section of the Albuquerque Bosque was damaged by fire in 2004, PNM adopted a 10 acre section of land to help restore it to its' original beauty. Volunteers have planted more than 150 trees, picked up countless bags of trash and built a walking trail.
• Similar environmental projects have been conducted across the state, including Belen, where volunteers planted 55 trees at Los Lunas River Park.
• From 2005-2008, more than 350 low-income seniors statewide had their homes weatherized. This included weather-stripping doors and windows, sealing cracks with caulk and, in some cases, replacing old furnaces.
• In 2008, more than 17,000 items were donated by PNM employees for the annual school-supply drive. Notebooks, folders, pencils and much more were donated to schools across the state.
