Actually, it will be HEBplus! and he hopes to help collect blankets and such for Laredo’s elderly
Mayor Salinas has been going up on the roofs of area businesses in Laredo for the past 18 years, collecting toys, food, money and other such for the neediest in our community, because he is all for helping the community. This year will be no different as Mayor Salinas joins his friends from Border Media and camps out on the rooftop of HEBplus! to help collect blankets, scarves, hats, gloves and other such items for Laredo’s elderly.
“Warm your heart and help me keep our ancianitos warm at the same time by donating to this very worthy cause,” said Mayor Salinas. “The elderly feel the cold much deeper than we do; this will help them find warmth and joy this Christmas winter,” he concluded.
Salinas and company will be camped out on the roof for three days, coming down on Friday, December 11 at 5 PM. Salinas recalls the lack of toys, food, money and other such necessities as a child growing up, which is why he has undertaken this initiative for the past 18 years.
