Seniors face rising hunger as food programs expand reach
Arturo Garcia travels from downtown Albuquerque to St. Felix Pantry in Rio Rancho for a weekly box of free food. The pantry, led by Manuel Casias, notes aging hunger statewide with New Mexico ranking high. The Sandoval County Senior Program reports six sites and a meal site in Rio Rancho supplying 55 percent of meals. A six month Older Adult and Children's Food Rescue program in Bernalillo grew from 35 to 90 boxes, prompting a grant bid with Roadrunner Food Bank to extend monthly help to Bernalillo pending approval.
