The application Findafoodpantry.org is still in beta. If you spot a problem, please tell them about it. The database currently contains information about 10183 food pantries across the nation. Whether looking for help or a place to volunteer or donate, it has never been easier to find a food pantry in your community.
Both St Vincent de Paul and the Nazarene Church in Mountainair run local food banks for emergency assistance. Are they listed? If not, should they be. Whether or not listed, you know about them: so support them. The Promised Land, Danielle Clarke Director, sponsors the RoadRunner's mobile pantry stop in Mountainair. I haven't checked up recently and should, so add that to the list.
Tentative community garden plans for 2012, as yet unconfirmed include something resembling "plant a row to feed the hungry." How's that for doubling up on ambiguity? A good idea that need not be limited to the community garden ~ one for any gardener in the community with room for an extra row.
