Causes: Disability Services, Senior Services, Veterans
Throughout the years, Amistad has seen many changes, faced challenges, experienced growth, but most importantly, has positively impacted the lives of thousands of people. What began as a project by Mrs. Lucy G. Acosta to provide transportation to elderly residents and persons with disabilities, has grown into a multifaceted organization serving El Paso and Far West Texas.
Today, Mrs. Acosta’s legacy lives on thanks to the support of staff and management, the Board of Directors, corporate sponsors, community partners, donors, and volunteers. Although the pandemic has brought on challenges, it has also brought more opportunities, expanding our reach to the people we serve. The difficulties of the past 12 months led us to “RHISE” to the occasion, basing every action on Amistad’s core values of Respect, Honesty, Integrity, Service, and Excellence, and with these principles we overcame our obstacles, and wholeheartedly continued to serve our beloved community.
This fiscal year, Amistad has served 30,000 individuals in need. With the help of generous donations from community partners, we have created a one stop shop for the elderly, persons with disabilities, Veterans, and persons at risk. Our team has guided clients during their darkest moments, ensuring they achieve a quality of life they can be proud of. When you give to Amistad, know you are giving to programs that provide 24/7 service to homeless individuals. You’re providing mental health services to Veterans living with PTSD. You are granting us the privilege of serving the disenfranchised in El Paso.
This El Paso Giving Day, support Amistad to ensure we continue to provide essential services for our community, for you and your loved ones.
