Elizabeth Heller Allen wrote an excellent opinion piece in the Santa Fe New Mexican on April 10. Here is an excerpt followed by the link to the full piece.
I am one of The Food Depot’s 1,100 volunteers. Today, I am part of a smaller group headed to its Siler Road facility to help with a food distribution. By the time I reach the corner of Siler Road and Aqua Fría Street, there is a line of cars at least a half-mile long, waiting for the gates to open at 7 a.m.
A wonky person would say The Food Depot addresses “food insecurity.” True. But those words mask the immediate problem — hunger. Nothing good happens when people are hungry.
