El Pasoans Fighting Hunger gets $307K grant for mobile grocery pilot

El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank has received a $307,000 grant from Feeding America to launch a mobile grocery pilot program, according to KTSM. The three-year grant, funded in part by Performance Food, will help neighbors facing food insecurity select nutritious food in a private, welcoming setting.

The mobile grocery model allows residents to choose items rather than receive pre-packaged boxes, addressing both food access and dignity in how assistance is delivered. The program targets El Paso residents experiencing food insecurity across the region.

Funding from Feeding America underscores the national food bank network's investment in local solutions to hunger. El Pasoans Fighting Hunger, the area's primary food bank, distributes groceries through multiple channels including partner pantries and direct assistance programs.
