The director of CSSD says New Mexicans might have heard of their program, but maybe aren’t sure what they do exactly, and with their 50th year in the making, they wanted to clear up the confusion. “What we do is we help two parents who have a child together, but are no longer together, and they need to financially support this child; they do not have to do that on their own. The child support program helps them do that,” says CSSD Director Betina Gonzales McCracken.
Saturday’s event also provided dozens of bags of free school supplies to children in need.
