El Pasoans Fighting Hunger 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 over 132 partner pantries across the borderland region and collaborative hub for hunger initiatives that assist in SNAP applications, workforce development, home delivery, and nutrition education. EPFH also distributes healthy and nutritious food to 982 mobile pantry sites using our refrigerated trucks, which provide food to underserved/unserved communities. We currently serve 150,000 food insecure people with 1 in every 3 people in our community unsure of where their next meal will come from. Hunger does not discriminate. We serve children, single-parent households, veterans, senior citizens, and working-class families. In 2022, El Pasoans Fighting Hunger distributed 93.6 million pounds of food across El Paso, Hudspeth and Culberson Counties.
