Score 420’s Statewide Food and Clothing Drive for the Holidays
Through November 26, bring clothing or three or more food items to Score 420 and get a $0.25 pre-roll. Every donation goes to a New Mexico nonprofit that feeds, clothes or shelters people in the communities where we have stores.
We call it Pay It Forward. Our customers have kept our doors open in 14 locations from Farmington to Sunland Park. The holidays are when we hand some of that back.
Why this year matters
New Mexico’s food banks are stretched. Roadrunner Food Bank, the largest in the state, reported that demand rose 79% between January 2025 and January 2026, according to Source New Mexico’s reporting. More than 25,000 New Mexicans have lost SNAP benefits this year, including nearly 13,000 children, state data presented to lawmakers shows.
Those numbers land hardest in November and December. A can of green chile stew or a warm coat is a small thing to give. It is not a small thing to receive.
How it works
- Bring clean, wearable clothing, or at least three non-perishable food items.
- Drop them at any participating Score 420 location.
- Get a pre-roll for $0.25.
The offer is for adults 21 and older and lasts while supplies last. The first phase runs through Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26. The drive continues for Christmas.
What to bring
- Food: canned vegetables, beans, soups and meats, rice, pasta, peanut butter, cereal and shelf-stable holiday staples. Check the date, and skip anything opened or in glass.
- Clothing: coats, jackets, sweaters, gloves, hats and warm layers in every size. Kids’ sizes are always short.

A higher, kinder community
That line is on our banner because we mean it. Score 420 is a locally owned New Mexico business. We buy from New Mexico growers and hire New Mexico people. When our neighbors are short on groceries or facing a cold night, that is our problem too.
If you are in the Four Corners, our Flood Relief Drive is also collecting essentials for families affected by the flooding around Farmington.
