Albertsons Market’s recent donation of $30,311.42 to The Storehouse New Mexico, one of the largest food pantries in the state, will provide more than 150,000 meals to those in need.
After holding the donate-at-the-register campaign in September, Albertsons Market presented the check to the nonprofit Oct. 18.
“We are so proud to continue our tradition of support for Storehouse New Mexico,” said Carlos Hernandez, regional VP for The United Family.
“I’m so thankful to our loyal guests who helped us raise these funds. We know just how much these donations mean to this organization and the families they serve.”
The funds given to The Storehouse will benefit New Mexico residents who receive food assistance.
“On behalf of the Storehouse New Mexico and the 35,000 people who count on our food pantry annually, we thank Albertsons Market and their generous customers for this amazing gift,” said Jill Beets, marketing representative for The Storehouse.
“Every dollar donated to The Storehouse can provide five meals, so this will provide 151,557 meals for local families in need.”
Through financial support and donations of fresh produce and other food, Albertsons Market looks to support organizations battling hunger and food insecurity.
The company recently donated a combined $42,500 to two local food banks – The Food Depot and Roadrunner Food Bank.
