For more than 40 years, this community has shown up for Good Sam’s in remarkable ways, often before we can ask. People sharing what they have: time, labor, money, food, creativity, encouragement, care and support—has allowed us to grow and adapt through decades of uncertainty and rapidly changing societal conditions.

We will continue to work together to strengthen household food security in the Four Corners region with easy access to food and community involvement, healthier and more culturally relevant food options, increased autonomy in the food system and the power to hold each other accountable to our shared values and commitments.

We deeply thank everyone who has taken action on behalf of the pantry. We hope you will come shop, volunteer, attend workshops, share your knowledge and help us create a food system that honors all of us with abundance and respect.

We can build what we need, where we live, when we work together TO share what we have.
