What is The Pink Bus? 

Short drive: It's a bus that is pink. It is a non-profit organization helping feed families in need. 

Longer drive: We blur the lines by asking, 'What is essential?' During Covid, we have conducted very serious research (not by real scientists or anything) and found out that mental nourishment is just as important as food we eat. Food for thought? I know. I am just so funny. So basically, The Pink Bus has this little bit of a big (oxymoron) mission: "Rollin' to a stop, to curb hunger." 

Clearly, I like puns.

Seriously though. For real this time. Hunger can affect your own family members, your neighbor, or even your friend at school. For children, food insecurity is particularly devastating.... research (like real research this time) shows an association between food insecurity and delayed development in young children; risk of chronic illnesses like asthma and anemia; and behavioral problems like hyperactivity, anxiety and aggression in school-age children. So one day (three years ago) I decided to buy an old bus, fix it up, and do something about food insecurity locally here, in Albuquerque. 

A community of very kind people help run the bus.
There is no 'I' in the bus, but there is 'US.'
