Lions Clubs across New Mexico will be holding their second annual Statewide Food Drive on Saturday, September 16, 2025. All food donations will go to each Lions Club's local food pantry to help those in need in their own community. One of Lions International missions is to be a leader in fighting hunger around the world.
Last year, the Lions Statewide Food Drive raised more than 9.000 food items and $2,500 for local food pantries. This year, the Lions are planning to raise more than 10,000 food items and increase their cash donations.
According to Feeding America, a national non-profit organization dedicated to fighting hunter, in New Mexico 350,101 people are facing hunter and of them 104,390 are children.
IN NEW MEXICO: 1 in 6 adults and 1 in 4 children do not have enough food to eat every day.
To find out how you can help your local Lions Club fight hunger in your community and across New Mexico, contact K.R. Scott, Food Drive Coordinator. He can refer to you to the nearest Lions Club and regional food bank.
