Food Drives
The face of hunger in New Mexico is changing. We may not see the effects of someone facing hunger first-hand, but the silent struggles they encounter are all around us.
Those who are affected by hunger make tough decisions every day—like whether to put food on the table or pay rent. Your charitable food and fund donations to Roadrunner Food Bank can help to alleviate some of the stresses that hungry people in New Mexico face.
Organizing an Online Food Drive
One of the most effective ways that you can help is to organize a Food Bank food and fund drive. Get together with people from your business, faith community, school, group or civic organization to coordinate a food drive. You can host one at your place of business, school, civic organization or through our Online Food Drive. Our Online Food Drive is a way you can make an online donation in lieu of bringing an actual food item during the food drive. Giving to the Food Bank through an online donation is quick and simple and you don’t have to remember to bring food items to the food drive.
Host a food drive in three easy steps:
- Contact us at Roadrunner Food Bank to express interest in hosting a food and fund drive
- We’ll give you the information, tools and resources needed to host your food and fund drive or make an online donation through our Online Food Drive
- We can arrange for the food to be picked up, but please consider dropping off all food donations at Roadrunner Food Bank
Contributing to Roadrunner Food Bank can be a fun team-building experience for your group. We’ll track and report the food pounds you collect and any donations your group collects via our Online Food Drive.
Help Us Save Our Fuel
The Food Bank pays for the fuel in our trucks and the time a driver spends delivering and picking up every food donation. Please help us be more cost efficient by hosting an Online Food Drive and providing your group the online donation link. Also, consider using your own boxes to collect food and bring your donation of food to the Food Bank (M-F 8am to 4pm). Please come in through the lobby so we are able to help you unload.
