Dear John,
I’m excited to share some really positive news for El Paso.
The Paul Foster Foundation and Woody and Gayle Hunt Foundation have
pledged a $1 million matching grant for the El Paso food bank.
Our local food bank (known as El Pasoans Fighting Hunger) is seeing
unprecedented demand for food in the midst of this extraordinary
contraction of our economy. In a county where more than 200,000 people
were already food insecure, there are now tens of thousands more in El
Paso without work, who can no longer afford to feed themselves.

Every donation will be matched by the foundations. That means for every $1
you give today, the food bank gets $2.

The demands on the food bank are the greatest we’ve ever seen. This
matching grant could not have come at a better time.
But it also means that we all need to step up and do our part. The $1
million pledge is a match, which means that an additional $1 million must
be raised to realize the full pledged amount.
If we succeed, it will result in a total of $2 million raised, which will
mean that every hungry family in El Paso will be able to get the nutrition
and calories they need to survive.
I know we can do this. El Paso is a generous, giving community. We’ve
always been there for each other. Most recently, we raised millions of
dollars after the Walmart shooting to provide medical care and financial
support for the families who were affected.

what we are capable of doing. I hope you will join me in making a donation
to the El Paso food bank.
Thank you,
Beto
