вЂњThey just werenвЂ™t eating for days at a time,вЂќ Beets said. We were number two in the nation before the pandemic.вЂќД«eets told a story of how her daughter has a co-worker whose family relied upon the The Storehouse when she was a child. Again, hunger was an issue before the pandemic. ItвЂ™s going to take a while for the economy to improve. WeвЂ™ve been working hard to get everybody vaccinated. WeвЂ™re all for opening, donвЂ™t get us wrong. ItвЂ™s going to take a while for people to get back on their feet 100 percent. It appears that way from past recessions. вЂњWe tend to have a longer economic impact than other states. вЂњI think like everyone else, New Mexico tends to lag,вЂќ she said. The summer beers are ready at participating locations. A lot of people are out of work.вЂќД«eets said The Storehouse feeds about 45,000 people per year, ranging from infants to senior citizens. Previous to the pandemic, one in four, now itвЂ™s one in three children. This is all about feeding people in New Mexico. We have events at Albertsons Market, Jubilation, and at OвЂ™NeillвЂ™s, a patio party. вЂњThe public is going to be asked to join. вЂњThis campaign is going to go through Memorial Day through the Fourth of July,вЂќ Beets said.

To learn a little more, I once again caught up with BellвЂ™s area sales manager Silas Sims and The StorehouseвЂ™s Jill Beets over Zoom. The program began Thursday and runs through July 5. For every case of BellвЂ™s beer sold, $2 will be donated, which will provide up to 10 meals. So once again, BellвЂ™s Brewery and Premier Distributing are working with local food pantries - The Storehouse in Albuquerque, The Food Depot in Santa Fe, Casa de Peregrinos in Las Cruces - for the Feeding our Backyard program. The pandemic and its associated restrictions might be winding down these days, but many of the same issues that predated it are still present in New Mexico, hunger being chief among those. Fourteen and 15 year olds must be registered with an adult.Дates: Sept 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30, Oct.BellвЂ™s Brewery and The Storehouse are joining forces again to fight hunger in New Mexico.
