Mayor Keller & Volunteering
Mayor Keller believes volunteerism is a vitally important part of how Albuquerque is able to operate on a daily basis. Volunteers help Albuquerque's senior citizens by bringing meals and helping to clean their homes. Volunteers work with animals in need, ensuring that animal welfare is a priority in our city.
They reach out to the homeless and needy, giving out warm meals and caring conversation. The spirit of volunteerism runs deep through our city and ABQ Volunteers is working to cultivate a culture of service that is a tradition amongst all Burqueños.
