Albertsons partners with El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank this ‘Hunger Action Month’

EL PASO, Texas– ABC-7 is teaming up with Albertsons to support the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank this 'hunger action month'.

This September, you'll be able to help them continue the food banks mission when you shop at your local Albertsons.

Employees and volunteers at El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank work to prepare and distribute food to feed thousands across the Borderland.

From kids at Borderland schools to packaging food for hundreds of refugees.

Since January, El Paso’s only food bank has served more than 150 thousand families.

El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank CEO, Susan Goodell said it's been a challenge to keep up with demand.

“We are struggling to find the resources to pay for the staffing the fuel for the trucks, and to bring food for 48 states here in this country to bring food to El Paso,” said Goodell.

This September during hunger action month, you can make a difference.

When you shop at your local Albertsons, you can donate at the keypad when you pay at the register to help those in need.
