Pay it 4ward Hunger Hotline: Get assistance from Roadrunner Food Bank

By KOB

Summer can mean 90 days of hunger without school meals. With school meals on pause during the summer, caregivers of children simply won’t be able to provide two extra meals per day – per child.

KOB 4 hosted a Pay It 4ward Hunger Hotline on Wednesday in partnership with Roadrunner Food Bank. Together, we took 217 calls for food assistance from New Mexicans and raised $2,943 from 28 different donors. Phone lines are now closed.

If you or someone you know is facing food insecurity and could not get through to the hotline, call one of the numbers listed below. Operators are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m..

505-349-5340
575-523-4390
