Kelly Center for Hunger Relief - El Paso Giving Day

Kelly Center for Hunger Relief

For 27 years, Kelly Center for Hunger Relief has stood alongside El Paso families, helping them face hunger and food insecurity. As a local, independent nonprofit organization, we are committed to providing hope, support, and opportunities to our community. While our Food Pantry is at the heart of what we do, Kelly is so much more than a food pantry. Through FreshStart, we provide comprehensive support to help individuals achieve greater economic stability and self-sufficiency. We also offer a Community Clothes Closet with clothing for all ages, including professional attire, as well as free health screenings, on-site job fairs, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, nutrition classes, Zumba, and other wellness activities. At Kelly Center, we believe that building a stronger community starts by supporting one another. Helping our community is more than our mission—it is our commitment, every day.

Dear Friend,

Your Donation Creates Real Impact

When many people think of Kelly Center for Hunger Relief, they think of a food pantry. And while providing nutritious food to families is at the heart of what we do, Kelly is so much more than a food pantry. We believe that addressing hunger means looking at the whole picture and helping people overcome the challenges that can keep them from achieving stability and self-sufficiency.

That is why your support helps us do so much more:

Food for Families
Our Food Pantry provides nutritious emergency and supplemental food to El Paso County residents. Today, we make more than 17,000 food distributions every month, helping families put food on the table when they need it most.

A Fresh Start for Individuals
Through our FreshStart Program, we help people address the underlying causes of hunger through personalized case management, coaching, and resources designed to build long-term food security and self-sufficiency. More than 360 individuals participate every year.

Confidence for a New Opportunity
Our Community Clothes Closet provides free business and business-casual clothing, helping individuals feel prepared and confident as they pursue employment and greater economic stability. More than 260 people visit our closet every month.

Fresh Food for Our Community
Through our partnership with Jardín de Milagros, Kelly receives more than 100,000 pounds of fresh, nutritious produce every year, helping us provide healthier food choices to the families we serve.

A Voice for a Hunger-Free Community
We also support research and advocacy focused on hunger, poverty, and food insecurity. By building awareness and supporting policies and programs that strengthen food security, we work toward solutions that can create lasting change.

When You Give to Kelly, You Give More Than Food.

Your generosity helps us meet an immediate need while also creating pathways toward a more stable and hopeful future. Every donation matters, because every family matters. Together, we can continue building a healthier, stronger, and more self-sufficient El Paso community.

Help us reach our $30,000 goal and be part of the change.

Thank you for believing in our mission, supporting our community, and helping Kelly be so much more than a food pantry.

With gratitude,
Team Kelly
