Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
The Roosevelt County Board of Commission and officials from the Food Bank of Eastern New Mexico (FBENM) will host a ceremonial groundbreaking Thursday at 4pm.
The new Roosevelt County Food Pantry will be built at 1111 W Fir in Portales.
Nixon Enterprises was awarded the bid by the commission and will build an approximately 800 square foot metal building to house the local food pantry.
Food Bank of Eastern New Mexico Executive Director Dianna Sprague said the money for the project is part of a $500,000 grant to the FBENM from the $10 million Food Security Grant from Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.
“We are going to have a client-choice pantry for the community,” Sprague said. “A pantry will give us the space to provide more services to Roosevelt County.”
