Meal Donations for Families – Request a Homemade Meal!
We are excited to be working with the Mescalero Apache Boys & Girls Club to offer homemade meal donations to families from the Mescalero Apache community. This effort is part of PCA Roadshow (pecoscyber.org/roadshow), where we connect with communities across New Mexico through service and outreach.
How It Works:
- Each family will be matched with a PCA staff member or student who will prepare a homemade meal (we usually make pans of enchiladas) specifically for your family.
- Meals will be delivered to the Mescalero Apache Tribal Community Center for pick-up from 12:00 to 2:00 PM on Saturday, November 2, 2024.
- These meals are designed to serve a family of 4 or more and will be prepared with the highest standards of food safety.
How to Request a Meal:
Families interested in receiving a meal can sign up using the link. Once signed up, your family will be paired with someone who will prepare a meal just for you! They will email you in advance to introduce themselves and ask questions about the meal you have requested.
We look forward to connecting with your family and sharing a home-cooked meal as part of our continued efforts to support communities across New Mexico.

Only One Week Left to Apply for FEMA and SBA Assistance
SANTA FE, New Mexico — One week remains for New Mexico residents impacted by the South Fork and Salt Fires and flooding that occurred June 17 through Aug. 20 to apply to FEMA for federal disaster assistance for temporary lodging, basic home repairs, personal property losses and other disaster-related expenses. The deadline to apply is Saturday, Oct. 19.
- To date FEMA has approved nearly $7 million Housing Assistance and Other Needs Assistance for homeowners and renters who suffered damage from the fires and flooding. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), the agency’s federal partner in disaster assistance, has approved more than $16 million in long-term, low-interest home and business loans. The deadline to apply for a disaster loan from the SBA is also Oct. 19. The deadline for businesses and private non-profits to apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans is March 20, 2025.
If you live in Lincoln, Otero, Rio Arriba or San Juan County, as well as the Mescalero Apache Reservation, you may be eligible for FEMA disaster assistance. FEMA grants do not have to be repaid. FEMA assistance is nontaxable and will not affect eligibility for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP or other federal and state benefits.
