Helping Hungry and Homeless in Santa Fe

12/5/2013

PictureKids bag groceries for the Food Depot.
Snowy days in the mountains are lovely if you have a warm home and food in the fridge. But New Mexico has one of the highest rates of households in extreme poverty -- those with income below 50 percent of the federal poverty level -- according to a recent study by Southern Education Foundation. More than half of all children in Santa Fe Public Schools come from homes living in extreme or merely "regular" poverty. These children show up at school with exceptional needs that interfere with their ability to learn, socialize and grow.

The following Santa Fe lunch kitchens and food pantries provide groceries and hot meals to families and individuals
. Thank you for doing whatever you can to help others in New Mexico this winter and throughout the year, and for sharing this list with those who need assistance.
