The team at MDC Computers - Las Cruces has kept our computer systems running smoothly for many years now.
We were heartbroken to hear of the passing of Drew Thompson. He was often spoken of to mythical standards in our office and was saved in many of our phones as "Computer Wizard Drew". He was always friendly and encouraging to our team.

We extend our deepest condolences to his colleagues and his beautiful family. Drew leaves behind a wife, a five-year-old son, and an unborn baby girl. A GoFundMe has been established to help them during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for everything, Drew.

It's Food and Farms Day at the New Mexico State Capitol!

Food & Farms Day offers a chance to showcase the connection between health, sustainable food systems, and the economic vitality of our New Mexican farms and ranches. It highlights the advantages of cooperation and coordination and the importance of informed policy-making.

We will be well-represented at the Roundhouse today.
Our Community Wellness Manager, Christina Johnson has a group of youth from Southwest New Mexico who have been learning about advocacy and the legislative processes. Also present is our Chief Operating Officer, Johannes Lencer who serves as Vice Chair for the Governance Committee of the NM Food & Agriculture Policy Council.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support programs that support farmers, ranchers, students, seniors, and many more through state funding! We are especially excited to support the NM Regional Farm to Food Bank Program, that has enabled our Frontier Food Hub to deliver nutritious foods to food pantries across Southwest New Mexico in the last 2 years.
