New Mexico National Guard delivers food for school meals

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KOB-TV) — The New Mexico National Guard is helping to deliver food to some school districts as they scrambled to feed children on the first day of the statewide closure. Nine districts from Santa Fe and Estancia to Bloomfield, Silver City and Texico were without supplies as students there were supposed to be on spring break. The Albuquerque Journal reports the National Guard delivered the food Sunday night and Monday morning. Students are tentatively scheduled to go back to school April 6, but countless events have been canceled and businesses are trimming hours due to the new coronavirus. New Mexico has 21 cases of COVID-19.
