We warehouse and distribute 60 million pounds of food annually to 500 partner agencies statewide. Our network ensures nutritious meals reach food-insecure individuals through pantries, schools, and senior centers. Partners receive food via semi-truck deliveries to serve local communities.
SNAP Outreach
Our program connects eligible individuals with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. We provide application assistance and eligibility education to expand access to nutritional resources for low-income families and seniors across New Mexico.
Mobile Food Pantry
This service brings fresh produce and groceries directly to underserved communities. Mobile distributions operate weekly in rural and urban areas, reaching thousands of households that lack transportation to fixed pantry locations.

We deliver nutritious food to low-income seniors through housing sites, community centers, and healthcare partnerships. Our senior-focused distributions address age-specific nutritional needs while combating social isolation through community engagement.

Our programs provide school-based food pantries, summer meal sites, and backpack programs for children. These initiatives ensure consistent access to nutritious food for 1 in 4 New Mexican children facing hunger, supporting academic success and healthy development.
