- Background and Context -
Healthy food on a sliding scale: MoGro is a nonprofit initiative of the Santa Fe Community Foundation that offers healthy foods to community sites across northern NM. We aim to eliminate barriers to healthy eating and support sustainable local food systems. To do this, we develop and maintain gathering points for food access, working closely with existing community hubs such as La Familia Medical Center in Santa Fe, The Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico, Santa Fe Indian Hospital, and several charter schools in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Our food is offered on a sliding scale with a variety of payment options, including SNAP benefits.
Weekly flow: Our weeks are centered around our distribution. On Mondays we finalize orders with customers, farmers, and local distributors. Tuesdays are spent preparing for distribution and packing our members' food with the help of our amazing volunteers. On Wednesdays we deliver orders to our fifteen pickup locations around northern New Mexico. Thursdays are spent reaching out to farmers, ordering food, and creating newsletters, recipes, and other content for our members. Fridays are for projects!
