ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A car meet for a good cause is happening next Sunday at the U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union to support the Rio Grande Food Project.

Now, they’re coming together for the first collaborative car show since before the pandemic. It’s happening April 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Coors/Bosque U.S. Eagle branch (5201 Antequera Rd. NW)
Kayla Strickler, the co-executive director of the food project, and Rachel Pierce, from U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union, stopped by to talk more about the event and what items they’re looking for.
