What it reported doing in 2024

In 2025, roadrunner food bank (rrfb) distributed 47,627,335 pounds of food to 392 agencies. This amounts to 39,689,446 total meals to 1,002,783 total households and 4,011,132 individuals. This is an average of service to 19,284 households per week and 77,136 people per week. Total meals per person per week for 2025 is 9.89. The mobile food pantry is a farmers' market style distribution that delivers nutritious food directly to hungry people in need. The mobile food pantry delivers to areas where individuals may not have access to food or other food support programs or where grocery stores, traditional brick and mortar food pantries, or feeding programs do not exist. In addition, rrfb sponsors other direct-service programs including disaster relief that is specific to fires and flooding, 440 completed snap applications with assistance and utility assistance, a data collection and analysis program (service insights), and referrals to other services and products that people experiencing hunger may need. In comparison to 2024, rrfb has seen more than a 38% increase in demand across New Mexico, due to inflation driving up the cost of basic necessities. Rrfb continues to directly support communities where the need is highest using census data, state health data, and through the service insights program along with other surveys from feeding america. In 2023, roadrunner increased their partner agencies by 4% and the new partners continue to rise. Rrfb also increased reach to 21 tribal communities in northwest New Mexico.
