Cindi Tucker and Tracy Rodden with Feed New Mexico Kids work to ensure that New Mexico students have food for the weekends. Tracy is the Executive Director, and Cindi serves as a volunteer while she and her husband also support the ministry financially. Tracy said, “Right now we have 14 churches and business partners packing and distributing ‘snack packs’ to students in schools in Albuquerque, Bosque Farms, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, and Pecos, NM.

Find out how you can volunteer with Feed New Mexico Kids, or become a partner by adopting a school to ensure every student has food to eat!  Contact Tracy by email at FeedNMKids@gmail.com for more information.
