Citizen of the Year Dr. Ted Schupbach has quietly shaped the fabric of the Taos Community for more than four decades with his commitment to veterinary care and has fundraised and volunteered to distribute food for Shared Table, the twice-monthly food distribution program run by El Pueblito Church, among other philanthropic endeavors.

“Almost everyone here in this room is an unsung hero and it really is true of all of you,” Schupbach said as he accepted the Citizen of the Year award. “We all see a need, and I try to be helpful, where I can. I think everybody here does the same.”
