Rooted Together

Dear Friends,

We’re joining the 11th annual El Paso Giving Day on October 15th—a day built on local generosity, supporting nonprofits from right here in the borderlands. Our theme for 2026 is Rooted Together.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 to support our work in Ciudad Juárez and our ongoing operations. In Juárez, our team works with partners across the city to meet the needs of people arriving at the border, those waiting, and those who have been deported. Our current focus is on helping people stabilize their families by putting down roots in Ciudad Juárez—moving beyond shelters, finding work and housing, and building stable lives in a city many never expected to call home.

Your gift helps provide groceries and utility assistance for families, support for unaccompanied minors, and opportunities for job and skills training in English, barbering, acrylic nail application, and computer programs. It also supports community-building through art, guitar, and recreation.

Just as importantly, your gift sustains the teammates who walk closely alongside these families—offering trusted accompaniment, practical support, and consistent relationships as people rebuild their lives.

This year, we’re inviting 200 people to give $50 each so that, together, we can stay Rooted Together with our communities on both sides of the river. Will you help us reach $25,000? Every gift matters, right away. Thank you for giving and sharing with us.
