Senior Food Box Program
The Senior Food Box Program, also known as the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), provides monthly nutritious USDA commodity foods to low-income seniors. To be eligible you must be 60 years of age or older, meet the income guidelines, and provide a photo ID and proof of age. To apply, call ECHO Albuquerque at (505) 242-6777.
No Cold Dogs
The weather is starting to get colder. NMDOG is offering free straws to folks whose dogs live outdoors. Just like people, dogs are susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia despite having fur coats. Therefore, if your dogs live outside make sure they have a dog house to start and then fill it with straw so that way it can help insulate heat in the dog house. This could help your dog survive during the winter. If you are interested in getting straw for your outdoor friends you can pick some up at the Torrance County Animal Services located at 751 Salt Mission Trail in McIntosh. If you have any questions call (505) 384-5117.
