El Paso, Texas – July 12, 2019 – El Pasoans Fighting Hunger food bank is thrilled to announce a $500,000 donation from the Paul L. Foster Family Foundation that helps to fund Phase II for El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank Capital Campaign. This gift represents a firm commitment on the part of the Paul L. Foster Family Foundation to overcome the plight of hunger, which confronts over 200,000 members of our community, mostly children under 16 years of age.
“We are beyond humbled by the very generous donation made by the Paul L. Foster Family Foundation. The investment that has been made in El Paso’s Food Bank will allow the growth and expansion necessary to serve the needs of the hundreds and thousands of people in our community who do not have enough to eat,” said Susan Goodell, CEO of El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank.
“Our Foundation is honored to be a part of our region’s efforts to meet the needs of El Pasoans who don’t have adequate food supplies for their families,” said Paul Foster. “It is difficult to comprehend that one of out of every three children in El Paso don’t have enough food to eat, which is why we continue to help. Alejandra and I know that the work being done by El Pasoans Fighting Hunger benefits those in our community who lack basic food and nutrition. It makes us very proud to be a part of that initiative.”
