Taos Municipal School launches summer food program at Enos Garcia Elementary

During the recent Taos County Board of Commission meeting held on June 3, 2025, key discussions highlighted community initiatives aimed at supporting local families and engaging residents in future planning efforts.

One of the primary topics was the launch of the Taos Municipal School's summer food program, which began on June 2 and will run through June 26. This program offers free breakfast from 8 to 9 AM and lunch from 11 AM to 12 PM, catering to children aged 0 to 18 on a first-come, first-served basis. The program will also continue from July 7 to July 25 at Enos Garcia Elementary School, utilizing the library loop for service. This initiative is crucial as it addresses food insecurity among local youth during the summer months when school meals are not available.

In addition to the food program, the meeting also addressed an upcoming community gathering focused on the comprehensive plan for Taos County. While specific details about the meeting were not finalized, it is expected to take place before June 16. This gathering aims to bring together community members from various districts to discuss and contribute to the comprehensive planning process, which is vital for shaping the future of the county.

The discussions underscored the importance of community engagement and support systems in Taos County. As local leaders work to provide essential services and foster collaboration among residents, these initiatives reflect a commitment to addressing the needs of the community and promoting a positive environment for all.

Overall, the meeting served as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to enhance community welfare and the importance of collective input in local governance. As the county prepares for the upcoming meeting on the comprehensive plan, residents are encouraged to participate and share their perspectives on the future of Taos County.
