Advocacy in New Mexico
Sharing your support of hunger-relief issues with our federal and state elected representatives may be the difference during an important legislative vote. Make your opinion known through advocacy efforts in the community. Our New Mexico Food Bank has put together a few resources to point you in the right direction.
Advocacy on a National Level
If you are seeking information about upcoming hunger-relief legislation at the federal level, we recommend you connect with our national hunger organization, Feeding America. Feeding America works on a national level on behalf of member food banks and hunger relief programs. Visit their website for regular updates about federal legislation related to hunger relief programs.
