Sandia Nationals Labs donates money and time to Rio Grande Food Project here at 600 Coors NW.
"We have been a very fortunate recipient of Sandia grants since 2018," said Ari Herring, the executive director. "(Sandia has) invested $90,000 in our hunger relief work over the last few years" Sandia's grant money has helped to purchase food and fund fuel and maintenance for the refrigerated food rescue trucks the project uses to pick up food from local grocery stores. The Grants also provide a salary for essential operations staff who coordinate volunteers and manage the sourcing, intake, storage and distribution of more that 80,000 pounds of food every month. The project also works to connect people to resources like utility bill assistance and nutrition education, also operates an urban garden where community members harvest fruits and vegetables for immediate distribution to households in need. Sandia employees volunteered this spring to prepare the garden for the season. The compost pit was moved, soil was turned over and trees were trimmed. -- from the Albuquerque Journal |
