Thirteen people from various congregations and organizations came together on a Saturday morning to discuss the challenges faced by food pantries in Albuquerque to find food. We also discussed some of the good things that are in place. Kathy Freeze from Catholic Charities of Central New Mexico led us in the discussion. Participants included members of The Albuquerque Baha'i Community, Central United Methodist Church, Congregation Albert, First Presbyterian Church, The Islamic Center of New Mexico, Our Lady of the Most Rosary Catholic Community, Roadrunner Food Bank, St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, St. John XXIII Catholic Community, St. Vincent de Paul Pantry at St. Joseph Parish, The Storehouse. Others who had intended to come but were unable to attend belong to Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, The Lighthouse of New Mexico and La Mesa Presbyterian Church.
Stay tuned for more detailed findings of our discussion as well as opportunities to follow up and bring others into the conversation.
