Advocacy Committee
The purpose of the advocacy committee is to proactively ensure that Roadrunner Food Bank is an effective advocate for New Mexicans experiencing hunger. Committee members should become versed in food security advocacy best practices and seeking ways for the food bank to implement them.
Development/Communications Committee

Warehouse Advisory Committee
The warehouse committee provides expertise and insight into improving warehouse operations from food rescue pick ups to receiving to distribution. Often a background in warehouse operations, logistics knowledge or a supply chain background is helpful when serving on this committee.
Health Advisory Committee
Feeding hungry New Mexicans is not only about providing food; it’s about supporting healthy food access and choices. The health advisory committee works to maintain and build policies and programs that promote healthy nutrition and health access for the families the food bank serves. In addition they have served as a sounding board to help create and build our Health and Wellness Initiative.
Board of Directors
