Oct 29: The Food Depot

Thanks to everybody who came out last week for Purple Pinky and Trick or Treat on Mainstreet. A special shoutout to our Interact students for helping!

The Food Depot Executive Director Jill Dixon will present their actions to combat hunger in northern New Mexico. The Food Depot programs and partner agencies distribute 10 million pounds of food annually across a nine-county service area. 1 in 7 New Mexicans experiences food insecurity, a lack of consistent access to healthy foods. As your Northern New Mexico food bank, The Food Depot’s partner nonprofits and innovative hunger-relief programs are here to provide food and support services to 40,000 people experiencing food insecurity. In 2023, The Food Depot’s fleet of vehicles traveled over 400,000 miles across nine counties.

Don’t forget Meals of Hope coming up November 9 and the Bi-District Conference November 14-15!
