Every year since we opened in 1999, we've collected food for our neighbors in need. Last season you helped us collect 2,006 lbs of food for Roadrunner Food Bank, and we added $2,006 of our own on top of it. With grocery prices still climbing, this year it matters even more. We're aiming for another 2,000 lbs. Can you help us do it again?
As our thank-you, every can you bring earns a raffle ticket, and 10 cans gets you 20% off gold jewelry.
When: November 1 through 30
Where: Evolution, 2925 Carlisle Blvd NE
Raffle drawing: Instagram Live, Tuesday, December 1 at 10am
How do we say thank you?
Every can = 1 raffle ticket for gift certificates and prizes from Evolution, Vellum & Vine and New Mexico Escape Room
5+ cans = 15% off gold jewelry
10+ cans = 20% off gold jewelry
Biggest single donation = a $250 Evolution gift card. We'll post the record so far on Instagram, so you'll know what to beat.
Gold discounts apply to in-stock 14k and 18k jewelry purchased the day you donate. Can't be combined with other offers.
What should I bring?
Canned goods, please! They top Roadrunner's most-needed list: canned chicken, tuna and beef, soups, beans, fruit and vegetables. They're also heavy, and we're chasing a weight goal. (Yes, we get excited about a can of Spam.) We'll happily take other unopened, labeled, non-perishable food too, like peanut butter, rice, pasta and cereal. Please no homemade food.
Can I donate money instead?
Yes. Every $1 you donate earns one raffle ticket. Gold discounts only apply to food donations.
How does "doubling your impact" work?
For every pound of food collected and every dollar donated, Evolution gives $1 to Roadrunner Food Bank. Your donation counts twice: once in food, once in funding. Roadrunner buys food in bulk, so those dollars stretch into even more meals.
Do I need an appointment?
You're always welcome to walk in and drop off food. If you'd like to shop or get pierced while you're here, we recommend booking ahead. That way we'll have time set aside for you, and you can use your discount the same day.
When is the raffle drawing?
Tune in to our Instagram Live on Tuesday, December 1 at 10am. You don't need to be present to win. We'll contact winners directly. Stick around after the drawing, because we have a couple of announcements we're excited to share.
Thank you to our partners
Huge thanks to Vellum & Vine, Albuquerque's first romance bookstore and café, and New Mexico Escape Room for donating prizes. Supporting local means supporting each other.
Book your appointment and bring your cans. See you at our Carlisle location!
