Weight For Your Backpack (Heavy Division):
Community Action Agency Food Bank is the largest Food Bank in the southern part of New Mexico and with food donations from our outreach efforts such as the Bataan Memorial Death March, we are able to adequately provide food to the six counties we serve. In Doña Ana county alone, we provide over 40,000 pounds of food each month to churches, food pantries, homeless shelters, group homes and victims of domestic violence. In addition, we supply food to individuals facing an emergency crisis, such as fire, loss of employment, victims of violent crimes or any natural disaster. In addition to the non-perishable food we collect, we also work closely with corporate donors to provide therapeutic meals to homebound elderly in our local community and are working to expand to each of the counties we serve. Those of you traveling, buy these items at the White Sand Commissary or local grocery store once you arrive. Save on packing extra weight in your suitcases.
