For generations, El Paso’s franchise dealers have believed the strongest communities are built when neighbors take care of neighbors—and when dollars earned here are reinvested right here at home. With that same heart for service, EPNCDA is proud to launch its new charitable arm, combining hands-on volunteerism with meaningful annual giving to support those who need it most, beginning with a $10,000 contribution to and a day of volunteering to a local non-profit.

2026 Gives Back Recipient
El Pasoans Fighting Hunger (EPFH) is El Paso's only food bank and a member of Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger relief network. The Food Bank is the distribution center for almost 100 partner pantries across the borderland region and collaborative hub for hunger initiatives that assists in SNAP applications and nutrition education. EPFH also distributes healthy and nutritious food over 800 client-choice, mobile pantries which provide food to underserved/unserved communities, including colonias. EPFH currently serves over 180,000 food insecure people with 1 in 3 people 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.
In 2024, El Pasoans Fighting Hunger distributed 110 million pounds of food across El Paso, Hudspeth and Culberson Counties.
