We’re committed to serving those who need us most. Whether through food boxes, partnering with ranchers, or our fresh produce program, we continue to combat hunger in our communities. According to the The Food Depot, based in Santa Fe, NM “Groundbreaking research about Missing Meals in our state is now available for the very first time through support from the NM Collaboration to End Hunger and funding from PNM. The research discovered that low-income New Mexicans are missing 117,140,870 meals every year. This means that vulnerable families, children, seniors and individuals do not have enough food in their homes. The purple wedge in the chart shows the number of meals missed by low-income New Mexicans.”
Every week, families in New Mexico have to choose between necessities, such as groceries and utility bills, having only the means to pay for one.
Unfortunately, this means that the most vulnerable – children and the elderly – are also hit the hardest. Another study, conducted by the New Mexico Association of Food Banks and Feeding America, found that around 40,000 New Mexicans seek food assistance every week, and that 40% of household members who are served by food banks are under 18 years of age.

ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
