Jewish Family Service of New Mexico

Owing to the high volume of Food Pantry clients this year, we are frequently short on food and could use food donations so that we can help more people. If you can donate a bag of food for one person, it would contain cereal; peanut butter; canned vegetables; canned fruit; canned tuna or chicken - or frozen meat products; 1 bag of rice and 1 bag of pinto beans. Beef stew and black eyed peas are used in the diabetic food boxes. Bread, produce and milk products are also given when available.

If you can donate bulk items, our current wish list is:

Cereal
Case of Peanut Butter
Paper Bags
Case of Canned Vegetables Carrots, Peas or Spinach
Tuna
Canned Chicken
Bread or Tortillas
Canned Fruit
Spaghetti Sauce
Rice
Pinto Beans
Beef Stew
Black Eyed Peas
Evaporated Milk
Diapers
Any type of boxed crackers

In our average food pantry we help 30-40 families, and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks of the month we also help on average an additional 27-30 families. If you are interested we also accept monetary donations - just write "Food for Food Pantry" on the memo part of your check. We can often purchase these items at a very reasonable price through Road Runner Food Bank.
