How do I actually get food from Roadrunner Food Bank?
Roadrunner is a regional food bank: it moves food to partner pantries and to one-time or temporary distributions, rather than serving the public from its warehouse. Steps: (1) open the Food Finder Map at rrfb.org/find-food/ and filter by day of the week or by distance - increase the mileage if you are rural; (2) call that location before you go to confirm the date and time; (3) if you would rather have help, call the food assistance line on 505.349.5340 or 575.523.4390, Monday to Friday - if nobody answers, leave a message and they call back. The same page also lists one-time and temporary distributions, updated several times a month.
When is Roadrunner Food Bank open?
Varies by location; use the map filters by day of week. For the one-time distributions listed on the page, the food bank asks you to re-check the date, time and place two business days before the distribution in case of last-minute changes. Its own offices answer the phone Monday to Friday.
Does Roadrunner Food Bank cost anything?
Free. Nothing on the page asks for money or a donation.
What do I need to bring?
Bring your own bags or boxes - the page says agencies may not have boxes or bags. For drive-through distributions, clear your trunk, back seat or truck bed so the food fits. Arrange your own transport: most partner agencies cannot deliver to your home. Seniors, people with disabilities, medically fragile people and Medicaid recipients may qualify for reduced-fare or free transport, and the page links to City of Albuquerque, Rio Metro Regional Transit District and the New Mexico Aging and Long-Term Services Department.
Where Roadrunner Food Bank works
All of New Mexico. It calls itself the state's largest food bank and supplies hundreds of partner locations statewide. Warehouses in Albuquerque (5840 Office Blvd NE) and Las Cruces (2100 N Main, Suite 2).
Worth knowing before you go
Visit limits are not stated; they are set by each partner. Always call the location before visiting - the page says so twice.
