We could not provide food to people facing hunger in New Mexico without help from our community. With your hands helping in our warehouse, more children, adults, seniors, and families benefit. Our neighbors in need count on help from the food bank and our statewide network of member partners to provide access to food assistance.

Individuals ordered by the courts to perform community service often seek locations for a community service opportunity. Roadrunner Food Bank® of New Mexico may be a location where you can join our team to complete your required hours.

If you would like to perform your court-ordered community service at Roadrunner Food Bank, please complete the form linked at the top of this webpage to let us know you are interested in helping. Our staff will follow up with you with additional information you may need to complete.

Court-ordered community members are selected and placed at the food bank on a case-by-case basis depending on the nature of the offense. If the charges involve crimes against children, sexual offenses, or violent offenses of any kind, you will not be considered for court-mandated community service at Roadrunner Food Bank.

The online form you complete will require that you upload or email our staff any documents from the court. The document(s) you provide to us should include any and all charges and sentencing agreements. If our staff authorize your requested service hours, we will notify you.

Shifts are a minimum of two hours but may be longer depending on availability. If our staff agree you may perform service hours at the food bank, please be aware that we require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to schedule your first and/or subsequent service appointments. If a request is made in the afternoon on a Friday or during a weekend, our staff may not get back to you until the following business day or Monday (whichever comes first).

If you have any questions for our staff about court-mandated volunteer opportunities, please scroll to the bottom for our contact information.

Every community service experience is unique. While we understand you are fulfilling a court mandate to repay your debt to society, it is our hope that you use this as an opportunity to learn more about our work, our mission, and take advantage of skills and knowledge you may learn while in our facility.

We look forward to your opportunity with us!
