The Shared Table began in 1994.
We distribute food on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays of every month, all year long.

8am – 11am at El Pueblito United Methodist Church (El Prado)
2pm – 3pm at the Talpa Community Center (Talpa)

New Mexico has a high poverty rate, ranking it the third poorest state in the country.  Wages are not high enough to meet the rising cost of living.  There is a shortage of affordable rental homes available to extremely low income households. Many of these households are severely cost burdened, spending more than half of their income on housing, and a whopping 33% of income on food.

With high rates of food insecurity, too many adults and children suffer from nutrition-related chronic conditions, including obesity and diabetes. 

The mission of Shared Table is to provide healthy food & genuine compassion to neighbors in need.

The primary vision is that everyone in Taos County has enough to eat, and has access to nutritious food.

With grant support, we also help with diapers to parents, grandparents, and school programs who have need of them.

***We unfortunately cannot assist with rent or utilities, or vehicle repair.***

Our Shared Table Leadership Team is made up of community leaders, Shared Table clients, and members of El Pueblito.

Cheri Lyon is the Director of the Shared Table.

Mike Flaherty is the Pantry Operations Manager.
