Since 2014, Food is Free New Mexico has distributed over 100,000 pounds of fresh, local foods thanks to the help of our awesome volunteers. Each of these pounds was donated throughout our community distribution network. Shelters, mission homes, churches, home canners, local farmers, and even our hard-working volunteers benefit. Please note that most opportunities are during the harvest season (June - October). Registering as a volunteer will allow you to receive emails regarding volunteer opportunities as they arise. Gleaning opportunities usually are accompanied by sign-up forms, which have limited availability and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
