Thanks to the generosity of two generous foundations, EPFH may receive a boost for school pantry programs.

The Paso del Norte Foundation will award EPFH $7,500, provided EPFH raises an additional $15,000. The Carl C. Anderson Sr. and Marie Jo Anderson Foundation will give EPFH $20,000 if we can raise $20,000 to match. This doubles your gift!

EPFH school pantries are filling gaps for El Paso schoolchildren when they don’t have access to school meals. So far, the pantries exist in 5 school locations and look to expand with support such as this.

If you are interested in helping match one of these challenges, please indicate on your check and return it to the attention of Mark Hohnstreiter at the Food Bank. Please call 915.298.0353 if you have any questions.
