Bienvenidos Outreach

As a food pantry, our immediate focus is on hunger. We provide boxes of groceries to those in need, including low-income families, senior citizens and single-parent households. Clients are welcome to come once every two weeks to pick up provisions that include fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, rice, beans, potatoes and other items.

We reserve Monday grocery boxes to large families, especially those with children, to whom we give a gallon of milk along with the regular provisions.

We also provide sack lunches to the homeless every day we're open. Those items include sandwiches, fruit, bottled water and pastries.

When available we also distribute personal care items to the homeless such as toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo and soap.

We maintain a clothing room that is open to the public, again, where ANYONE may take what he or she needs.

There is no limit to the amount time that people may participate in our programs and as always, we provide all services free of charge or obligation.

In order to track statistics that we use for grant writing, we ask that clients sign in upon receipt of their food and/or clothing.

We work with the Food Depot - Northern New Mexico's food bank - to secure food at lower than market cost (currently purchased at $0.18 a pound).
