Welcome to Feds Feed Families 2024! This year the Port of El Paso hopes to exceed the previous year donations in support of our local food bank and our local communities. Last Year 2023, the Port of El Paso led CBP nationwide by donating 5,812 pounds of food.
Let's make this another great year of giving generously!
We have partnered with the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger (EPFH), El Paso's only food bank and a member of Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger relief network.
The food bank currently serves over 170,000 food insecure people with 1 in 3 El Pasoans unsure of where their next meal will come from. Food insecurity is defined as being limited at times to having adequate food because of a lack of money and other resources.
Hunger does not discriminate. EPFH serves children, single-parent households, veterans, senior citizens, and working-class families. Many of those we serve are often faced with tough choices to put food on their table.
Every $1 raised provides 7 meals to our neighbors facing hunger across the borderland.
