ABC-7, partners relaunch “All About The Food” campaign

ABC-7 KVIA is partnering with El Pasoans Fighting Hunger, Albertsons, Viva Autogroup, Sun City ER and Mattress Firm to relaunch the ‘All About The Food’ campaign to help feed families and make sure they have warm meals as the holiday season approaches.

The campaign needs the community to make it a success.

You can donate any non-perishable items or money at designated drop off locations, including all Albertsons locations in El Paso and Las Cruces, Sun City ER, Viva Auto Group dealerships and all Mattress Firm locations.

One in four children in El Paso is food insecure, meaning they don’t know when or where they will get their next meal.

Factors behind the alarming statistic include lack of income in households, underemployment or unemployment. Many times, the economic situation leaves parents choosing between putting food on the table or paying bills.

El Pasoans Fighting Hunger is the only food bank in El Paso that also serves as a distribution center for more than 120 food pantries in the region.

The organization serves an estimated 90,000 households with 65,000 of those households including children.

The campaign runs from November 1 through December 14.
