Family Service of El Paso: Honoring a Legacy, Building the Future ### For 133 years, Family Service of El Paso has been a place of hope. Since 1892, families have walked through our doors during their most difficult moments — and we’ve welcomed them with care, compassion, and counseling, regardless of their ability to pay.

Our recently retired Executive Director, Richard, believed deeply in this mission. Under his leadership, Family Service strengthened community connections — bringing Big Brothers Big Sisters to El Paso, championing NAMI events, and expanding access to care for families across the borderland. His dedication helped solidify our role as a trusted leader in mental health and community well-being.

Today, more than 75% of our clients are low income and 87% are Hispanic. They are children facing anxiety, parents navigating depression, families overcoming trauma. At the same time, we are preparing for the future — training graduate student interns and LPC Associates who will become the next generation of mental health professionals for El Paso.

Richard’s legacy is alive in this work. We are here because of the foundation he built. This El Paso Giving Day, we invite you to help us honor his hard work and continue the mission he poured his heart into.

Your gift is more than a donation — it’s a way of saying “we believe in mental health care for all.” It’s a way of ensuring that, for another 133 years, no one in our community is left on the sidelines.

👉 Honor the legacy. Draft your players. Rally your fans. Give today.
