September is Hunger Action Month!
It is an annual nationwide awareness campaign designed to inspire communities to take action. Join in the movement where every action – big or small – is one step closer to a community where no one faces hunger. Your voice, your action, and your commitment are critical. When people are fed, futures are nourished and individuals go from just living to truly thriving.

Urge Congress to pass a strong Farm Bill!
Roadrunner Food Bank and its national organization Feeding America, urge Congress to pass a bipartisan 2023 Farm Bill that bolsters the nation’s federal nutrition programs including The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It is the nation’s centerpiece federal legislation for food and farming. It impacts access to nutritious food for people facing hunger across the country. Congress re-authorizes the farm bill approximately every five years and lawmakers are already working on its re-authorization for 2023.

Double the Impact of Your Gift This Month
Contributions from the community helps the food bank in its work to provide food to New Mexicans facing hunger. An exciting way that you can help out this month is by making a financial gift that will have twice the impact! The Abram and Ray Kaplan Foundation will match contributions from our supporters this September during Hunger Action Month. Your gift will be doubled dollar for dollar up to $25,000. Any contribution raised from our supporters over the $25,000 match will trigger another $25,000 gift. The total potential support from the foundation for this matching gift campaign is $50,000. Gifts received after the campaign or in excess of this amount will not be matched but will help provide food and groceries to people we serve. Please take advantage of this Matching Gift opportunity and enjoy knowing your gift will help feed twice as many people at a time when they need it most!
