United Way of North Central New Mexico held a Safe Trick-or-Treat event for Bernalillo County employees, marking the program's 15th year and collecting donated laundry baskets and other goods to support Laundry Love.

An event speaker opened the program, saying, "We have hosted the United Way Safe Trick or treat. This is our fifteenth year doing it." The speaker described each booth as bringing a laundry basket full of items that will be placed in a United Way pantry and used at laundromat events across the year: "All those goodies go back to United Way in a big pantry." The speaker added that the effort aims to help families with what "provides dignity for children and families."

United Way of North Central New Mexico's president and CEO thanked Bernalillo County leadership and employees for their support. The president and CEO said, "I speak on behalf of our community when I just say a big thank you to the commitment of the employees of Bernalillo County," and expressly thanked County Manager Bernadette Perez. Event organizers noted that the donated items and the booths represent volunteer hours from participating groups.

The event supports Laundry Love, identified in remarks as one of the organizations United Way helps; organizers said donated items are stored in a United Way pantry and distributed at laundromat events. No dollar amounts, exact counts of baskets or volunteer hours, or event date beyond the remarks were specified in the transcript.
