ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Officials said food insecurity is impacting many in our community, causing them to choose between a meal and other essentials. The McKinney-Vento Warehouse is once again stepping in to help.
On Saturday, dozens of Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) students helped fill up the food warehouse. APS headquarters, located in Uptown Albuquerque, was transformed into a drop-off hub where the community could bring non-perishable food items.
