Children and youth ages 1 to 18 and adults with disabilities are eligible to visit any of the designated sites for free meals through July 14th.
The Summer Food Service Program is managed by the State of New Mexico and is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The State works with multiple agencies like FYI Plus to ensure children across the state do not go hungry while school is out for summer break. FYI Plus has been facilitating the program in Las Cruces since 1993.
A full list of meal site locations can be found at www.summerfoodnm.org. Some sites serve breakfast and lunch, while others only serve lunch or dinner. The program will not provide meals on the national holidays of Juneteenth (6/19) or Independence Day (7/4).

June 2023 at the Deming Art Center will feature metal artists Ray Turner and Frank Holguin. Come by and be amazed at what these two men have designed and created for our enjoyment. Ray has been doing metal art on and off for quite some time, but Frank got started welding for art’s sake about 6 years ago. It was a way of spending time with his son along with teaching him how to weld. The exhibit will be up from June 2-29, 2023. There will be a time to meet the artists on Sunday, June 4, 2023, from 1PM- 3PM. The Deming Art Center is located at 100 S.
