Sliding Scale CSA & Emergency
Food Access
MoGro is a nonprofit mobile grocery project committed to providing healthy food that people can depend on. We offer bags of fresh, mostly local, fruits, veggies and grocery items each week that are available for pickup at locations in Albuquerque, Santa Fe & Espanola. In response to the increased needs presented by the pandemic, we are also providing bags to tribal communities, refugee families and others in need. Scroll down to see updates on our COVID-19 relief work!
We're open! We are still the small & mighty mobile grocery that people love, but to ensure a safe pickup for everyone, things look a little different these days. We are distributing out of our refrigerated box truck at 3 different locations in Albuquerque, Santa Fe & Española on a rotating basis. To learn more check our updated How it Works page.

Emergency Food Access During COVID - 19 Crisis
Food access is harder for everyone right now. It’s even harder for those who already met challenges getting fresh, healthy food to their family.
Tribal members are facing extra high rates of positive COVID-19 cases, restricted travel, and reduced income. Refugees in densely populated urban areas are also facing a disproportionate spike in cases, and being asked to stay home. Essential Workers and Home Health Aides who take care of New Mexico’s elderly are taking on high-risk but low-paid roles protecting all of us from this pandemic.
MoGro is doing everything we can to provide relief. Over the past 2 months, we have been sending emergency bags with fresh, local produce and staple grocery items to help out.
Here's What We've Done With Your Help
1,000 bags and 15,000 pounds of fresh produce for the Navajo Nation
630 bags and 8,000 pounds of fresh produce and local staples to Zia Pueblo
300 bags and 4500 pounds of fresh, local produce and staples to Jemez Pueblo
550 bags and 9,000 pounds of fresh, local produce to Three Sisters Kitchen, New Mexico Immigrant Law Center, and Albuquerque's refugee community
Delivery of masks and other PPE with our emergency bag (thanks to MoGro members for contributing hundreds of home-made masks!)

We’re also remembering our local farmers and local economy. Over this short period we have purchased 16,000 pounds of small-scale locally-grown produce and contributed $30,000 to our local economy.
