Google Magic Tricks Biography

Every year, Taos Feeds Taos goes off like a magic trick: People show up, boxes are filled and somehow 1,200 people are fed for the holidays.
To longtime volunteer Ernestina Córdova, despite a lot of preparation, it’s nothing short of the miracle.
“I think God takes care of us because it just happens, you know?” Córdova said to volunteers last Thursday (Dec. 20) at the National Guard Armory.
For the past 27 years, Taos Feeds Taos manages to offer boxes of food to people in need. This year is no different; the service upped its number of recipients by at least 100.
For volunteers like food coordinator Linda Knief, Taos Feeds Taos sates the soul.
“For me, it feeds the need to be a part of something greater than myself,” Knief said. “It’s all about the giving. It inspires you.”
For the recipients, Taos Feeds Taos is literally a lifesaver over the holidays, providing individuals and families with everything from apples to posole to tortillas and canned goods.
Everyone from high school mariachi students to the New Mexico State Police pitch in to help. On a frigid morning last week, Sgt. Travis Skinner and fellow officer Victor Flores showed up to help make food deliveries to homebound recipients.
“We’ve been doing this for so long, I’ve seen years where we could spend most of the day delivering,” Skinner said.
To Skinner, Taos Feeds Taos is a chance to give back to the community he helps keep safe. It’s a duty Skinner takes just as seriously as his role as an officer, a reprieve from traffic enforcement and emergency calls for service.
He spent some 10 minutes getting accurate directions to one person’s home after Google Maps claimed her road didn’t exist.
