Native Community Food Distributions
Over 65% of urban Natives living in Santa Fe experience food insecurity issues due to the high cost of living. In 2023, we provided food to over 4,310 Native family members of Santa Fe Country. The Santa Fe Indigenous Center distributes FREE bags of groceries twice per month and when supplies are available.
