Albertsons Market & Market Street launch fundraising campaign for The Storehouse New Mexico
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — On Monday, Albertsons Market and Market Street launched a donate-at-the-register fundraising campaign for The Storehouse New Mexico’s food pantry, allowing guests in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and Los Lunas to make donations when they shop.
From September 15 to September 28, guests of any Albertsons Market or Market Street in Albuquerque and surrounding communities can donate money at the register that will benefit The Storehouse New Mexico. It is as simple as adding a dollar or more to the grocery bill when checking out.
“We are so excited to begin this annual campaign with amazing community partners,” said Carlos Hernandez, regional vice president for The United Family. “The Storehouse New Mexico is a pillar of hope for people across our community, and we look forward to helping raise funds for them. We are blessed to be in a position to contribute to their mission of helping those who are impacted by food insecurity.”
The Storehouse New Mexico is one of the state’s largest food pantries. Since the 1970s, The Storehouse has made it its mission to fight hunger in the Albuquerque community and surrounding areas. Thanks to the support of donors and volunteers, The Storehouse was able to feed over 79,000 people in 2024.
“The Storehouse New Mexico food pantry has been supporting record numbers of local families, providing free groceries to almost 80,000 people in the last year,” said Kevin Cochran, food pantry manager. “We could not be more grateful for the ongoing support Albertsons Market/Market Street stores provide to fighting hunger in our community.”
