(Albuquerque, N.M.) — Delta Dental of New Mexico has announced a donation of $50,000 to the Pueblo Relief Fund, an initiative created and administered by the All Pueblo Council of Governors (APCG) and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), to aid Pueblo communities that are being severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This contribution will provide tribal members with critical supplies, including food, disinfecting supplies and personal protective equipment.
