ADVOCATE FOR HUNGER-RELATED ISSUES
Advocacy is an important part of Roadrunner® Food Bank’s mission to end hunger in New Mexico.
Sharing your support of hunger-relief issues with our federal, state, county, and city elected representatives can make an important difference. Make your opinion known through advocacy efforts in the community.

Advocacy on a National Level
If you are seeking information about upcoming hunger-relief legislation at the federal level, we recommend you connect with our national hunger organization Feeding America and sign up to receive email from us for updates on ways to take action on upcoming legislation or rule changes. Feeding America and food banks across the nation work together on national food insecurity and poverty issues that impact our neighbors in need. Below are ways to sign up and receive updates.
Other Ways to Support Roadrunner Food Bank
Your advocacy efforts can help educate and inform our state and federal legislators and local elected officials about the importance of protecting programs that help low-income and needy Americans and New Mexicans. Charitable programs can’t do it alone. It takes a combination of government programs, charitable nonprofits, the private sector and each of us individually to ensure our most vulnerable neighbors have an opportunity for a better tomorrow. It will take all of us to solve these complex issues.
Be our partner and together we can solve hunger. You can provide immediate help with your donations of time, food or money to our food bank. Together we can solve hunger to help our vulnerable neighbors right here in New Mexico.
