SPIRIT of Hidalgo Food Bank Serves Lordsburg, Animas, Virden Families

SPIRIT of Hidalgo operates a local food bank and emergency pantry out of Lordsburg, serving families in Lordsburg, Animas and Virden and the wider Hidalgo County area, and lists a primary contact phone of (575) 313-0765. The organization’s public profile identifies food distribution, nutrition assistance programs and clothing among its services for children, women and families in the county.

The organization’s profile states, verbatim: "SPIRIT of Hidalgo is an organization dedicated to helping the children, the women, and the families in Lordsburg, Animas, Virden, and the rest of Hidalgo County. Through our food bank and nutrition assistance programs to clothing and other help, we are a non-profit with the mission of making Hidalgo County a better, healthier place to live." That profile also uses the social tag #SPIRITofHidalgo.

The profile includes a call-to-action line with an email address spelled as spiritofhigalgo@gmail.com; elsewhere on the same listing the contact email appears as SPIRITofhidalgo@gmail.com. Both spellings appear on the public entry; the phone number (575) 313-0765 and the Lordsburg, New Mexico location are shown consistently. Interested callers, donors or volunteers should use the listed phone number to confirm the correct email address and current hours before visiting.

Services explicitly named on the profile include food bank operations, nutrition assistance programs, an emergency pantry and clothing distribution. The profile does not list regular hours, a distribution schedule, or intake procedures; those operational details were not provided on the organization page and should be confirmed by phone or email prior to arrival.

For readers seeking regional context, the Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley is a separate, Texas-based organization that serves Cameron, Hidalgo and Willacy counties in Texas and operates a network of more than 275 community partners. The Food Bank RGV notes it was incorporated in 1986, ranks seventh among Texas food banks by distribution and 56th nationally among the 200 networked food banks, and reports that up to 146,000 people in the Valley experience food insecurity; it also lists a fundraising metric of every $10 donated providing 50 meals. That Texas-based network is distinct from SPIRIT of Hidalgo’s Lordsburg operations and should not be conflated with Hidalgo County, New Mexico.

SPIRIT of Hidalgo’s public profile invites contact: it lists Lordsburg, New Mexico as the location, the phone number (575) 313-0765, and the two email spellings appearing on the page; the profile reads in full, "If you would like to learn more about our programs, find out how we might be able to help you, or if you would like to help SPIRIT on our mission, e-mail us at spiritofhigalgo@gmail.com." Residents, donors and partner organizations should verify the correct email and current pantry procedures by calling the listed phone number before visiting.
