Food is Function

Featured Bag Item

 

Jujubees : The Chinese date also known as the red date they wrinkle up  when ripened and have a pit in the middle. They come from south of Asia, have a chewy texture, and are sweet. Most compare the taste to apples. They are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. It is a nice healthy snack to enjoy!

Special thanks to all of the farmers and food producers working so hard to feed our communities; to the staff, volunteers, donors, and ReFresh families who make the program work, and to our partners at MoGro who pack these beautiful ReFresh bags each week for us, and who do so much important work connecting communities to healthy food throughout New Mexico. There would be no ReFresh program without all of you – we love our partners
