Albuquerque posting

Albuquerque content: bristling at every article on the radical idea of free buses that doesn't mention that Albuquerque has free buses.

New Mexico which is one of the poorest states steps up to feed those dependent on SNAP.

I checked hours earlier this week, looking for a place to donate apples on Monday. Albuquerque's big food pantries are down to 3-day schedules, open 2-3 hours at a time. I am not sure if that is due to a shortage of supplies or volunteers. I'll ask.

This post has so many Albuquerque NM spots that are doing similarly. It’s great to see how they are integrating it into the business to take away the stigma.

This makes me happy in the morning.

they're saying New Mexico is the first state so far to do this. 10 days isn't much but better than nothing #SNAPcuts

Okay the horchata shake at Blake's is a no from me. The cinnamon is nice but it tastes like ... Rice Krispies? I thought it might be weird but I didn't expect specifically in this way. #newmexico #albuquerque

New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal child care next week New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who championed the new initiative, told CBS News it would save families an average of $12,000 a year.

"Parents in New Mexico will no longer have to pay for child care starting next week, regardless of their income, making the Land of Enchantment the first state in the nation to offer free universal child care." - CBS News

New Mexico’s Free-Child-Care Gamble The state has promised universal coverage. Can it deliver?

I'm very proud of my state for even trying to provide free universal child care. Yes, it's bold, but we're bold, so I know the program will succeed.

New Mexico to provide $30 million in food assistance with federal SNAP benefits on hold Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that New Mexico will provide $30 million to provide food assistance to SNAP participants through November 10.

URBAN HOTDOG COMPANY It's come to our attention that SNAP benefits may not be issued next month, and a lot of local families will likely feel that impact. For parents already doing their best to juggle everything, even small changes can make a big difference when it comes to keeping kids fed. Back during COVID, we offered free kids' meals to help families get through a tough time, and it feels like the right thing to do again. Starting November 1, kids can stop by and get a Classic Starter Hotdog on us. If your family has been affected, or if you know someone who could use a hand, please spread the word. Just mention the "UHDC KIDS Special" and our team will take care of the rest. No purchase, no questions, no strings attached. Kids must be present. This isn't about picking sides. It's about people. It's about our kids, our neighbors, and our community. No child should ever go hungry, and if we can do a small part to help, we're proud to do it. We've always believed we're stronger together, and as a community, we'll get through this the same way we always have: by looking out for each other. - Matt & The Urban Hotdog Company Team @urbanhotdogcompany

New Mexico governor, legislative leaders announce stopgap aid if SNAP benefits are halted The announcement is the latest in a flurry of moves this week — at the state and federal level — aiming to avert a lapse in SNAP benefits.

As more than 40 million people nationwide reckon with the looming suspension of federal food benefits amid the government shutdown, New Mexico will continue to provide food aid to qualifying residents through the first 10 days of November, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced Wednesday.

New Mexico joins lawsuit over SNAP benefits suspension New Mexico has joined a lawsuit seeking to lift the USDA's suspension of SNAP benefits during the government shutdown.

"New Mexico has joined a lawsuit seeking to lift the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s suspension of SNAP benefits during the government shutdown.

New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez’s office is joining a coalition of 23 attorneys general and three governors who have signed on to the lawsuit."

Hells yeah, #ABQ.

The NM Taxation and Revenue Department is warning residents about mail-fraud campaigns masquerading as tax liens and seizure threats.

BE SURE TO ADD THE NOTE.

Also, if this is your first exposure to me doing this and you're wondering whether it's a scam?

I run a local online mutual-aid group. I run threads nightly. And mutuals on here know that we've used this method for years when there's no other option.

ANYBODY who has anything to spare for grocery gift cards for folks in the Taos NM area, send it to Aji. She'll buy the cards & distribute them. (Put "SNAP replacement" in the notes.)

& yes, I personally vouch for her & her good work.

That's how ABQ is. A few years ago every single school was rando canceled mid week because the SIS (student info system) was down. A handful of restaurants all over the city were quick to announce if you were a student they had a free meal for you.

UNM Albuquerque is allowing Turning Point USA to do their thing (peddle one-sided, reactionary hate speech as "open dialogue") on campus. Glad there was a protest in response this morning, and that the flyer went suitably hard:

just found out we're under freeze warning this week in ABQ... lucky I just made room for these big babies in my room. It's almost like I knew it was coming 🔮✨🌱
