Food Distribution and Support Programs
ROADRUNNER FOOD BANK (RRFB) DISTRIBUTES FOOD TO OVER 70,000 PEOPLE EVERY WEEK THROUGH A NETWORK OF APPROXIMATELY 360 EMERGENCY FOOD PANTRIES, SHELTERS, SOUP KITCHENS AND FOUR REGIONAL FOOD BANKS. FOR EVERY 1 DONATION, RRFB MAY DISTRIBUTE UP TO FIVE MEALS. RRFB PROVIDED OVER 24.3 MILLION MEALS DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023, INCLUDING MORE THAN 4.7 MILLION MEALS THROUGH ITS MOBILE FOOD PANTRY. THE MOBILE FOOD PANTRY IS A FARMERS' MARKET STYLE DISTRIBUTION THAT DELIVERS NUTRITIOUS AND MUCH NEEDED FOOD DIRECTLY TO HUNGRY PEOPLE IN NEED. THE MOBILE FOOD PANTRY DELIVERS TO AREAS WHERE INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO FOOD SUPPORT PROGRAMS OR WHERE FOOD PANTRIES OR FEEDING PROGRAMS DO NOT EXIST. IN ADDITION, RRFB SPONSORS OTHER DIRECT-SERVICE PROGRAMS INCLUDING DISASTER RELIEF, SNAP APPLICATION ASSISTANCE, AN AMERICORPS PROGRAM (SEEDCORPS), A DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS PROGRAM (SERVICE INSIGHTS), AND REFERRALS. RRFB CONTINUES TO SEE HEIGHTENED DEMAND ACROSS NEW MEXICO, ONLY INCREASING WITH THE PRECIPITOUS DROP IN SNAP BENEFITS AT THE END OF FEBRUARY 2023 WHEN THE FEDERAL PUBLIC HEATH EMERGENCY CAME TO AN END. THIS COUPLED WITH INFLATION DRIVING UP THE COST OF BASIC NECESSITIES AND FOOD IN PARTICULAR CREATED A PERFECT STORM FOR MANY NEW MEXICANS STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET. RRFB INCREASED FEEDING EFFORTS IN COMMUNITIES WHERE GAPS EXISTED, OPENING BRAND NEW FOOD DISTRIBUTION POINTS IN NUMEROUS COUNTIES AROUND THE STATE. SEEDCORPS CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THIS CAUSE, PROVIDING OVER 479,675 MEALS DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023. SEEDCORPS MEMBERS PROVIDE NUTRITION EDUCATION AND RESOURCE SUPPORT DIRECTLY TO CLIENTS.
