Last week, #RoadrunnerFoodBank was the recipient of a very special refrigerated box truck courtesy of Darden Restaurants, Penske, Lineage Logistics and Feeding America!
This vehicle also included the donation of 7000 pounds of ham steaks! With rising food prices, many of the people we serve often cannot afford to buy protein items. We are so excited to be able to distribute this essential food!
We invite you to tune in and hear from a couple of the food bank's leaders about what these various donations mean to us!
It's #GivingTuesday! Your gift of funds can make an even bigger impact in the lives of New Mexicans facing hunger because Meta will be matching nonprofit donations made directly on Facebook throughout today. For more information on how this matching gift will work and to make a donation, visit rrfb.org/facebook-gift.
Whether you choose to give the gift of time, food or funds, we thank you for your generosity!
Tune in to hear from some of our staff members about the exciting operations at our Warehouse and Healthy Foods Center and learn more about how you can get involved and volunteer!

We are turning October into #Cartober!
There are so many different ways that you can help New Mexicans facing hunger...including by donating your car! Your donation goes directly to help us distribute food and fund new and existing programs at Roadrunner Food Bank. Donating your vehicle may be tax deductible in many cases, and may reduce your taxable income when taxes are itemized.

Today, Roadrunner Food Bank staff gathered to commemorate 9/11. We honor and remember the brave first responders and many individuals who lost their lives that fateful day.
Twenty years later, amid continued darkness, we ask one very important question: “How can we be a light in the world?”
We invite you to honor and commemorate the lives lost in 9/11 with us and to share ways that you or your loved ones strive to “be a light in the world”.
(Poem by Patricia A. Fleming)

Every two years, Roadrunner Food Bank is audited by AIB International. The process is intended to check several categories of Roadrunner's operation including cleanliness, food safety, maintenance and integrated pest management.
This year the food bank received its best score ever, a 955/1000!
A huge shoutout to our staff and a big thank you to our amazing volunteers for their work and preparation. This achievement would not have been possible without them!
A huge thank you to Kiolbassa Smoked Meats for their donation of 12,000 servings of smoked sausages through their program "Links of Love". We appreciate their commitment to working with Feeding America food banks and their desire to serve and enrich the lives of others through food. This donation also would not have been possible without one of our wonderful community partners, Albertsons Market. We are thankful for the generosity of these two amazing companies!

Roadrunner Food Bank is excited to have received a visit from Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America. This summer, to mark his 20th year with Hunger Free America, Joel is driving on a 20-state, 8,000-mile, coast-to-coast journey to join with local anti-hunger groups and elected officials nationwide. His goal is to raise awareness of the nation’s continuing hunger crisis and to call attention to public policy solutions to it.
During his visit, Joel had the opportunity to attend our weekly food distribution at EXPO New Mexico in Albuquerque. He shared some of his thoughts with us and we had the opportunity to tell him more about the important work of Roadrunner Food Bank’s SeedCorps AmeriCorps Team.
Wishing him all the best in his continued travels!
