Fighting Hunger through OST

\

Data shows that one in every four children throughout New Mexico are food insecure — that's approximately 130,000 children who are unsure where their next meal is coming from. 

The New Mexico Out-of-School Time (NMOST) Network is committed to expanding access to healthy meals after school to the 130,000 children who face food insecurity. NMOST feels this is a necessary investment to improve the health and education outcomes of New Mexico's most vulnerable citizens. 

Meal Sites During School Closures in New Mexico (Updated 3.26.2020)

The New Mexico Out-of-School Time Network (NMOST) has compiled a list of known meal sites taking place in school districts throughout the state of New Mexico during the statewide public school closures. For school districts where days, times, and locations of meal sites are unknown, we have attached blue hyperlinks that will take you to a page with the contact information for that school district’s Food Service/Nutrition Service Director whom you can direct your questions to.

*NOTE: All information was taken from school district websites and are subject to change. We encourage you to call your local school/school district in case any changes occur.
