Give Grandly is Here!

Give Grandly is the annual fundraising event hosted the Gila Community Foundation that brings the community together in support of local nonprofits across Grant, Hidalgo, Luna, and Catron counties. This year, The Commons is excited to participate in both online giving and the in-person event on Saturday, May 3rd!

Recent policy changes have led to challenges in food access for many families across the United States. With rising food costs and growing need, many communities are feeling the strain. However, together we have the power to make a difference! By coming together, we can help ensure that everyone has access to the nourishment they need. Every donation counts!

Here’s how you can get involved:

Online Giving starts Friday, April 19th and runs through Friday, May 17th!

Fall Appeal and Giving Tuesday

We are launching our Annual Fall Appeal Fundraising Campaign from November 21st, 2024 through January 31st, 2025.

This campaign is crucial, providing nearly 30% of our yearly funding and enabling us to meet the rising demand for food assistance across our community. The Commons is New Mexico’s largest food distribution program powered entirely by local support, and each donation helps us reach those who need it most.

Every dollar donated makes a meaningful impact, helping us distribute thousands of meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity. By supporting The Commons, you’re directly contributing to a more food-secure community here in New Mexico.

Also don’t forget that Tuesday, December 3rd is Giving Tuesday! This is the largest day of giving across the country, so please consider donating the The Commons. Thank you!

You can give by:

  • Sending a check to The Commons, PO Box 416, Silver City, NM 88062
  • Clicking here to give online
