*Civic Skills Workshop Focuses on Planning, Zoning and Community Organizing*
Join us for a Civic Skills Workshop on three dates in May, focused on
Planning, Zoning, & Organizing: The Place-Building Toolkit. This event is a
collaboration between the Office of Neighborhood Coordination, the Planning
Department, and Common Ground, a McCune Foundation-funded program using an
equity lens to strengthen the relationship between the City of Albuquerque,
local organizations, and underserved communities. Visit

*Food Service Program Provides Free Lunches for Eligible Children During
Summer Months*
Did you know the City provides free lunch to kids ages 1-18 during the
summer months? Many children don’t have access to a regular meal when
school is not in session, so the Food Service Program for Children fills
this essential need. Over 12,000 meals are served daily at qualifying
community centers, schools, city parks, apartment complexes, mobile home
parks, churches, health facilities and non-profit organizations. To learn
more about this terrific program or to suggest a new meal site in your
neighborhood, contact Henry Saavedra, Program Coordinator, at (505)
