It’s time to do our part to help our community.
Join us in supporting this year’s holiday food drive! Our store is an official collection site, so bring in all of your nonperishable food items to feed our neighbors this season.
Routes Bicycle Rentals & Tours has partnered with Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico to bring hope, relief and security to our neighbors struggling with hunger. From November 1 to November 30, our Holiday Food and Fund Drive will help the Food Bank meet more of the growing need in our community.
Your support allows Roadrunner to continue providing more than 26 million pounds of food every year to a network of hundreds of partner agencies and four regional food banks. In turn, these agencies provide food directly to the hungry in our communities across the state. Agencies served include food pantries, shelters, group homes, soup kitchens, low-income senior housing sites, and regional food banks.
Through that network, Roadrunner helps nearly 40,000 different hungry people in our state weekly. That figure is equivalent to feeding a city the size of Farmington every single week.
We may not see the effects of a hungry person first-hand, but the silent struggles they encounter are all around us. Those who are affected by hunger make tough decisions every day—like whether to put food on the table or pay bills. Your contribution to Roadrunner Food Bank helps to alleviate some of the stresses hungry people face.
