Roosevelt County Food Pantry Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting
Portales, NM – The Roosevelt County Board of Commissioners and officials from the Food Bank of Eastern New Mexico will host a grand opening and ribbon cutting Thursday, May 16 at 2:30 for the new Roosevelt County Food Pantry located at 600 N. Ave. K in Portales.
This partnership is focused on reducing the food insecurity Roosevelt County residents face as one in every four children and one in every seven adults identified as food insecure persons. In May 2022, officials from the Food Bank of ENM asked the Commission to consider serving as a fiscal agent for a food security grant. The Commission unanimously agreed with their request. Food Bank of ENM Executive Director Dianna Sprague was successful in securing a grant award for this Roosevelt County location. The bid was awarded to Nixon Enterprises.
