The Art of Generosity: Bienvenidos Outreach
Stories have the power to connect, inspire, and spark meaningful change. That’s why we’re proud to launch The Art of Generosity, a new editorial series in partnership with Table Magazine New Mexico.
This series shines a light on the people and organizations shaping the cultural, social, and economic fabric of our region. Each story features one of our nonprofit partners — many of them past Piñon Awardees — whose work reflects the generosity, resilience, and creativity that define northern New Mexico. Through these stories, we aim to deepen understanding of community needs while celebrating those working every day to meet them.
In this first story, we meet Susan Tarver of Bienvenidos Outreach, whose work reflects how compassion, connection, and everyday acts of generosity can help neighbors meet basic needs and build lasting support systems.
“We ask clients for ideas on how to improve their lives. That’s why we’ve expanded from just providing food and clothing to helping people feel equal."

River Source
River Source supports people advancing watershed stewardship to create significant community engagement and long-lasting impacts for intergenerational learning and ecological restoration. We provide science and policy education and the building of watershed and climate resilience in New Mexico. Our goal is to be weavers, bringing together elders, youth, and land managers to spark action for caring for our water, forests, and land and leveraging the full potential of people working together.
La Clínica del Pueblo de Río Arriba
La Clínica del Pueblo de Río Arriba has been a trusted healthcare provider in northern New Mexico for more than 50 years, ensuring families in rural and remote communities can access quality, culturally responsive care close to home. Serving as a primary source of care for infants, toddlers, and caregivers in Rio Arriba County, the clinic recently launched La Clínica Baby Essentials — a new “baby bank” offering essential supplies, parenting education, and infant health screenings.
The Food Depot
Families need more than groceries to stay healthy and stable. That is why The Food Depot also operates Diaper Depot, providing diapers, wipes, and resources to hundreds of families each month. This wraparound program supports household well-being and helps families stay on a stronger path toward food security.
