Join the Rio Grande Food Project Board of Directors and help build a community where EVERY kid, adult, and senior has enough nutritious food!
Rio Grande Food Project (RGFP) is a Food Pantry, Urban Garden and Community Hub working to help ensure our community’s kids, adults, and seniors have enough nutritious food to live their most healthy, active lives possible. Our $2,500 goal, if met, will help RGFP provide over 14,700 meals!
Located in a “food desert” on Albuquerque’s westside, RGFP serves individuals and families throughout the city and surrounding metro areas, and mostly residents in West Mesa and South Valley neighborhoods. RGFP offers food assistance to children, adults, and seniors every week and has distributed well over 377,500 lbs. of food (that’s 314,600 meals) this year (as of July 2021). RGFP also distributes food to partner non-profits that serve high-risk hard-to-reach populations, sharing over 7,420 lbs. of nutritious food with vulnerable populations in this way as of July of this year.
Beyond emergency food distribution, RGFP is a Community Hub where people connect with social service providers, learn about community resources and opportunities, and get help enrolling in important food security programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program); all aimed at improving household circumstances to reduce and prevent hunger. The Community Hub shares job search and training opportunities, it connects people with behavioral and physical health services and cost savings as well as utility and water bill assistance, it partners to share nutrition and cooking education, it provides emergency cell phones and internet access, and distributes free books to kids of all ages. In these ways, the Community Hub addresses the underlying causes and effects of hunger.
The RGFP Urban Garden is a source of nutrient-dense produce like kale, tomatoes, peppers, peaches, strawberries, potatoes, onions and even asparagus! Food is harvested, weighed and immediately distributed. RGFP also works with local farmers to provide fresh organically produced vegetables to help those facing hunger receive the highest quality food and improve not just food security, but nutrition security as well.
