Casa de Peregrinos proudly celebrated the groundbreaking of its new food pantry locations in Chaparral and Sunland, New Mexico, marking a significant milestone in our mission to serve the community. The event brought together the gathering of local partners, including Dona Ana County, Roadrunner Food Bank, city and county officials, and the City of Sunland Park. Their support has been instrumental in turning this vision into reality.
Stay tuned for our official ribbon-cutting ceremonies, where we will open the doors to these new locations and continue our work to provide nourishment and support to those in need. Together, we are building a stronger, healthier future for Chaparral and Sunland Park.
