About this Event

“Pass the Sopapillas,” a podcast featuring host Manuel González and presented by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, is coming to our community!

Nothing is more New Mexican than gathering around a table to share good food and meaningful conversation. Inspired by that tradition, “Pass the Sopapillas” is a podcast that puts people first – exploring serious issues through the lens of our shared culture, inclusivity and joyful spirit.

If you’re receiving this, chances are you're a friend, family member or ally of the "Pass the Sopapillas" team. Please join us as an audience member on May 3. Together we will have an engaging conversation about New Mexico’s legacy of cultural richness framed around the topic: “Universal Free Child Care: A Historic Win for Families and Kids.”

Save the date, RSVP! Invite a friend!
