Making Ends Meet
When working full-time isn't enough
A workshop to learn about the realities of living on a minimum wage
Every person in our community needs nutritious food to thrive. While people in Santa Fe are working hard to provide for themselves and their families, over 15,000 people in Santa Fe County are struggling with food insecurity. Across all nine counties served by The Food Depot, 12% of the population—over 33,000 people—can not afford the food they need to live an active, healthy life.
A Cost-of-Living CrisisJoin The Food Depot in a 90 minute class to discover more about poverty in Santa Fe, the reality of costs, and how to advocate for a more food-secure future.During the session, participants will explore the life of a family of four living in the Santa Fe Metropolitan Area and seek to understand how a family with two adults working full-time minimum wage jobs still struggles to make ends meet.
