Golden Crown Panaderia
Golden Crown Panaderia recognized a need in the Albuquerque community and used their unique offerings to contribute. Golden Crown Panaderia set a goal for themselves to donate 1,000 loaves of bread to the Roadrunner Food Bank. With help from the community, volunteer hours and a devoted staff, they achieved that goal. They posted it on their social media sites and were even covered in local publications like the Downtown Albuquerque News.
Participate in the Hometown Explorer Content Creator Program
Visit Albuquerque is launching a local content creator ambassador initiative called the Hometown Explorer Content Creator Program. We are looking for Partners who would be interested in participating in this endeavor. The goal of the program is to connect Visit Albuquerque Partners with local content creators through shared interests, resulting in expanded audiences for both parties. One-day itineraries will be created for local content creators to experience multiple Partner businesses throughout the city and create social media content highlighting those businesses to their audience. This program will take place between January - March 2026.
If you are interested in participating in the program, please fill out this form by Jan. 31.
