Casa de Peregrinos, a non-profit located in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, has announced that Oracle has provided funding to buy new electric vehicles (EV) to support their cause. The non-profit says that four total electric vehicles, including a pick-up truck, were purchased to help increase deliveries of healthy food throughout the area and enhance its Mobile Food Pantry (MFP) program.
Supporting Local Families
“Every day we meet our neighbors who are doing their best to care for their families,” said Lorenzo Alba, Jr., executive director, Casa de Peregrinos. “Sometimes the biggest challenge isn’t finding food, it’s getting it. Transportation and lack of infrastructure in our county has long been an issue. Oracle’s support means we can bring healthy food closer to where people live and make sure more of our neighbors have what they need.”
A spokesperson for Casa De Peregrinos says that these vans will be utilized in areas such as the Sunland Park and Chaparral area as they have seen a need for food increase in areas in Southern New Mexico.
