Our Mission

Our Mission:
The Food Depot fosters healthy communities by engaging a network of partners and developing solutions for a hunger-free New Mexico.

Our Vision:
Healthy, hunger-free communities in Northern New Mexico.

Who's hungry? They are the working adults trying to decide whether they should pay their heating bill or buy groceries with their meager wages. They are the seniors struggling to make ends meet on a small monthly stipend. They are those suffering from domestic abuse. They are men and women living without shelter. They are our community's children.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at The Food Depot:

Food security by its very nature demands equity and accessibility.

At The Food Depot, we are guided by the knowledge that everyone deserves a nourishing meal at the table. We foster a sense of belonging among community members from a diverse range of lived experiences. We live our values every day by cultivating a working environment and community partnerships that are inclusive, empathetic, and collaborative. We invest in and support places and spaces sharing a similar vision for community stewardship, empowerment, and justice. We develop innovative programming aimed at eliminating or counteracting oppressive inequity in the communities we serve in New Mexico. Because we live in an ever-changing world, we commit to action, continuous learning, and growth.
