The recent devastation from powerful storms in America’s Mid-West and Southeast Asia have had far-reaching impacts on those of us here in New Mexico. Many of our customers and employees have had direct hardships as a result, and in some cases, losing homes and loved ones. These recent storms are reminders that thinking “local” can often mean looking further than we originally thought.
Talin Market will be making donations to The American Red Cross and The Filipino-American Foundation of New Mexico, FAFNM for the disaster relief efforts at home and abroad.
We have chosen FAFNM because they are a 20 year-old, local, 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to using 100% of donations to helping the immediate families of local people who have suffered hardships as a result of Typoon Haiyan, as well as aiding other charities in the Philipines. You may visit their website at www.pinoy-newmexico.com or www.facebook/FAFNM for more details on how the funds will be distributed. Their 0% administrative overhead and the immediate impact that FAFNM will have in helping the families of local people rebuild their lives has been decisive factors in us choosing this organization.
The Earth is not as big as we think it is, and by you supporting Talin Market, your local, international grocer, you’re also supporting your local community!
