Dear Community Members,
Starting November 1st, federal funding cuts to the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) will take effect impacting families across the United States. New Mexico has the highest number of participants in the SNAP program than any other state in the country. According to Road Runner Food Bank, as of August 2025 there are 3,929 households in Grant County alone that receive an estimated average of $325/month of SNAP benefits to put food on the table.
We understand that these federal cuts may cause stress and uncertainty, but you are not alone. The Commons is here to help Grant County residents and ensure that our community has access to the food they need.
Here's How We Can Help:
