In my outreach role at The Food Depot, Central New Mexico's food bank, I was privileged to work with many passionate community members, who shared the mission to alleviate food insecurity through food drives, events, and eduction. I was responsible for the coordination of these diverse initiatives. Some of these included CANstruction, Cranksgiving, Neighbor-to-Neighbor food drive, as well as The Food Depot's beloved annual fundraiser, The Souper Bowl, where dozens of local chefs prepare a soup in a chosen category and attendees vote for their favorites.
The Food Depot provides no-cost, healthy food across nine counties in Northern New Mexico with a hunger-relief network of more than 80 partner agencies works alongside The Food Depot’s mobile food pantries, school-based pantries, food mobile, and drive-through distributions. Together, community members can access over 150 food distribution sites.
