We need your help and support!

The States for Service Coalition, Service Year Alliance and AmeriCorps Alums are joining together to ask Congress to pass the New CORPs Act in 2021. This Act will create investments in national service programs like AmeriCorps and contribute to our nation’s long-term economic recovery. It will also assist in growing national service membership and help evolve local nonprofit programs like the SeedCorps AmeriCorps Program at Roadrunner Food Bank.

Our SeedCorps members have been instrumental in aiding our pandemic response throughout the state over the last year. They run drive-thru food distributions in multiple counties across New Mexico and assist at our Sister Food Banks and Partner Agencies located in communities state-wide.

We hope that you will join us supporting this Act and contact Congress by filling out this form: https://p2a.co/1FGxPlW. It takes less than five minutes!

Together, we can further service programs like SeedCorps, who giveback to our communities in this time of need!

A special thank you to Albertsons Market, United Supermarkets and FirstFruits for their donation of 2,800 pounds of apples to Roadrunner Food Bank last week.

FirstFruits created the program to help feed underserved communities and bring attention to the issue of food insecurity across the country.
