Storehouse New Mexico In Need of Food Donations For Those in Need

Posted on by

Storehouse New Mexico is in urgent need of food donations for those in need in our community. They are seeking donations of canned fruits and vegetables, canned proteins such as tuna and meat, peanut butter, cans of soup and stews, and other non-perishable food items. If possible, canned food items should be pop-top for ease of opening, as many people do not have can openers immediately handy.
You can drop off food donations Monday – Saturday between 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., at 106 Broadway SE. Donations can be dropped at the backdoor. To learn more about donations, visit: https://storehousenm.org/

The following traffic impacts remain in place:

  • Westbound traffic on Westside Blvd is reduced to one lane between NM 528 and Golf Course Rd.
  • Eastbound traffic on Westside Blvd is reduced to one lane between Golf Course Rd and Grande Blvd. Eastbound traffic on Westside Blvd shifts to the south at Grande Blvd and has two lanes available as well as a dedicated right-hand turn lane to head southbound on NM 528.
  • Traffic on La Sierrita Rd is able to turn right and head eastbound on Westside Blvd, but is NOT able to turn left and head westbound on Westside Blvd. Motorists can access westbound Westside Blvd by taking 7 Bar Loop Rd south to Driftwood Ave, heading west on Driftwood Ave, then north on Golf Course Rd. Westbound motorists on Westside Blvd can access La Sierrita or 7 Bar Loop Rd via Golf Course Rd south to Driftwood Ave, then east on Driftwood Ave to 7 Bar Loop Rd.

Regular work hours are Monday-Saturday 7am-5:30 pm although the contractor may work longer hours or on Sundays as needed.
