(January 24, 2019) El Paso, TX-- For more than a month, individuals and families have been impacted by the government shutdown.

El Pasoans Fighting Hunger has emergency food baskets for impacted employees available at our warehouse distribution office, available Monday through Friday 8am-5pm: 9541 Plaza Circle, El Paso, TX 79927.
