Steel Bender Brewyard is giving the Agora Crisis Center a financial boost with its Shine On Saison.
Six-packs of the limited release will be available while supplies last exclusively at Whole Foods Market locations in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Proceeds will benefit the Agora Crisis Center in Albuquerque. The center operates on a small budget, and most of its phone workers are volunteers who have been trained in suicide prevention. Agora has a small staff and about 100 volunteers. The organization does suicide prevention training around the state on how to recognize warning signs and respond to someone who might be at risk for suicide. New Mexico has one of the nation’s highest rates of suicide.
