Here’s HOW we help

At Grandma’s Hands New Mexico, we empower individuals and families by providing resource navigation, culturally competent public health education, and advocacy. Our navigators connect people to essential resources through personalized support, including assistance with applications for social services like Medicaid, SNAP, and housing, as well as employment and income support. We aim to improve well-being and self-sufficiency by bridging the gaps between vulnerable communities and the resources they need.
