El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank serves all individuals in need regardless of income, immigration status, or documentation. We do not require proof of income or citizenship. Our mission is to ensure no one in our community goes hungry.
We offer multiple distribution types: Drive-thru distributions allow you to stay in your car while volunteers load food. Walk-up pantries serve individuals on foot. Mobile pantries bring food directly to underserved neighborhoods. Senior boxes provide monthly staples for adults 60+.
