Let’s Talk Even More Free Stuff!

SWOP

Let's Talk New Mexico 8/20 8a: Did you know that your kids can get free crafting kits from the Española Public Library? Or that you can take virtual tours of many of the state's museums? Or that several organizations around New Mexico provide free PPE to those in need? On the next Let's Talk New Mexico, it’s the return of our annual free stuff show (2020 COVID edition), and we’re talking about what’s available for no cost during the pandemic.

And we want to hear from you! What resources have you made use of during the pandemic? How do you keep your family entertained while keeping your wallet closed? Or what do you wish were out there that isn't? Share your tips by emailing letstalk@kunm.org or call in live during the show!

And check back in on this post after the show this week for a full list of the resources and services we'll unearth together. The previous episodes below have tons of links, too.
