About
RGFP provides low-income individuals and families with up to a week's worth of emergency groceries once a month, and also provides health-tailored foods to households facing chronic health conditions on a weekly basis.

In 2019, RGFP distributed 1,313,101 pounds of food, serving an average of 3,587 people each month. RGFP also acts as administrator for PNM's Good Neighbor Fund utility bill assistance program as well as the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority's bill assistance programs, providing additional aid to low-income New Mexicans.
