The Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce has announced its sponsorship of the Kirtland Partnership Committee’s Food Drive, which will run through November 11. The initiative aims to support families at Kirtland Air Force Base who have been impacted by the ongoing government shutdown.
According to the Chamber, the food drive is intended to assist Air Force families experiencing hardship due to the current federal government closure. Community members are encouraged to contribute to the effort.
"We encourage the community to participate," a statement from the Chamber said.
The Chamber's involvement highlights local efforts to provide aid during periods when federal employees and their families may face financial difficulties because of disruptions in government operations.
