Are you wanting to support your local community and neighbors but don’t have the time or energy?
We’re making it easy by hosting a food drive at City Market on Saturday, May 10, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s an easy action to take that has a lasting impact in our community.
According to the Healthy Archuleta’s 2024 Community Survey, 35 percent of residents in Archuleta County were worried that they might not always be able to afford enough food to feed themselves and their families in the next year.
Participating in the food drive helps to provide some of these needed food items to our neighbors. Donated items are collected by Healthy Archuleta and shared with all the seven food pantries in Archuleta County through the food distribution center.
On Saturday, May 10, please stop by the Healthy Archuleta table outside City Market, pick up a shopping list and fill a bag to support our neighbors accessing food through the food pantries this spring.
If you are not able to come by the food drive, Healthy Archuleta has a donation bin located inside the UPS store in the City Market plaza. Nonperishable items can be donated during the UPS Store’s open hours.
