The Bosque Story
Home is a feeling. To us, New Mexico feels like home, and we want others to experience that same feeling here. The natural beauty, diversity, and resources of this place has captured our hearts and we are proud to call it home. However, not everyone who lives here experiences that same feeling of welcome and belonging. The journey many take to seek their true identity can leave them feeling lonely and isolated and without a place where they experience that feeling of home.
It is comforting to know you are not alone on your journey. Inclusion and a sense of belonging to a greater community empowers serving and giving back to the community, resulting in a greater sense of fulfillment.
New Mexico is an amazing place, and we want everyone to experience that feeling of home here.
