The Rural Food Initiative provides emergency food resources by operating mobile food pantries for families in the county’s rural areas, specifically those in or near the county’s 37 colonias. Each community receives its allotment on a regular day of each month (i.e., first Monday, fourth Thursday). On the scheduled distribution dates, food is delivered directly to each rural site. Casa de Peregrinos staff, along with volunteers, set up registration desks for new and returning clients, accessing the main database at Casa de Peregrinos to assure client eligibility. (Each client is eligible for a food distribution once per month. If a client has received distribution at another one of Casa de Peregrino’s sites within the last 30 days, this information will show up at registration. Visit the Calendar for more information.
Casa de Peregrinos’ mission is to end hunger while mobilizing resources that build strong, diverse, and inclusive relationships and partnerships in the community.
