As of fall 2010, more than 50 million Americans, a third of them children, don’t have reliable access to the food they need to lead healthy, active lives. That means that one in every seven of our neighbors are struggling with hunger, right here in New Mexico. Nearly one in every four New Mexicans 18 years and younger are classified as “food insecure.” Our neighbors aren’t hungry because we lack food or because of a lack of food and nutrition programs. They are hungry because they lack access to those programs.

Over 80 partners from both public and private sectors form The New Mexico Collaboration to End Hunger (Collaboration).The partners’ work in both programming and policy over the past four years have helped over 28,000 New Mexicans move out of food insecurity. New Mexico was the worst in the nation in food insecurity when the Collaboration was formed in 2007 and now is ranked 12th worst according to USDA’s state food insecurity report (11/15/2010).
