The Rio Grande Food Project is one of the largest and longest operating food pantries in Albuquerque.
The twenty year old non-profit’s mission is to feed hungry New Mexicans. Last year the Food Project served 206 tons of food to 25,000 hungry children, youth, adults and elderly. The pantry draws people from across the metro area and beyond.
The agency is run by volunteers, two part-time staff, and a part-time Executive Director who reports to a Board of Directors.
The Rio Grande Food Project is a federally-designated 501(c) 3 organization dedicated to providing emergency food relief to hungry individuals and families throughout the Albuquerque metro area. Persons in need are given a week’s worth of food for the entire household. The Food Project strives to provide a balanced diet of fresh produce, eggs, cheese, breads, canned or packaged food and frozen meat.
