Storehouse West History

Storehouse West was created to help alleviate poverty on the West Mesa and throughout the rural areas of Sandoval County.  On March 19, 1992, an incorporating Board of Directors signed papers to establish Storehouse West as a non-profit corporation to provide assistance to residents of Rio Rancho and surrounding communities.

Storehouse West opened for business in May of that year and is a member of the Rio Rancho Chamber of Commerce.

Through the support of civic, religious and service organizations, supportive residents and businesses Storehouse West provides non-perishable food to those in need.  With our Road Runner partnership and EFSP and United Way support, dairy products, meats and other fresh food are purchased to add to the canned and boxed foods.
