Supporting Aggie Cupboard

Dear Newman Community,

NMSU recently held a street fair event called Peek of Las Cruces. The idea is to give students a ‘peek’ of our community. This year the event also included a food drive competition to support Aggie Cupboard, the NMSU food pantry. Student organizations gathered food the last few weeks then built a New Mexico landmark themed ‘canstruction’ on the day of the event. Newman students participated, using food purchased with funds raised through Lunch Bunch for a Cause. Our Balloon Fiesta themed canstruction ended up taking two of three prizes– People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice! A big thank you to all student and resident parishioners who came to eat at our Lunch Bunch for a Cause meals earlier this semester. With your support we were able to purchase nearly $400 worth of food for the Aggie Cupboard.
​
The Aggie Cupboard provides free emergency food assistance to NMSU and DACC students, faculty and staff. Do you know someone in need of food? Fall distribution hours are Wednesday & Thursday from 3-6pm. Bring your NMSU ID. Want to make an additional donation to the Aggie Cupboard? Food donation drop offs are Thursdays from 9am-Noon at Regents Row B115. If you need to arrange an alternate drop off time, email aggiecupboard@nmsu.edu. You can also make a financial contribution through the NMSU Foundation. Go to http://giving.nmsu.edu and specify that your gift is for the Aggie Cupboard.
​
Peace,
Mona

It is a scandal that there is still hunger and malnutrition in the world! It is not just a question of responding to immediate emergencies, but of addressing together, at all levels, a problem that challenges our personal and social conscience, in order to achieve a just and lasting solution.
–Pope Francis, 10/16/13
