Please join Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (TX-16) and local community partners to learn about resources available for El Pasoans impacted by the COVID-19 health and economic crisis on Thursday, December 17, 2020 at 10:00 am MT. 

Congresswoman Escobar voted to pass the CARES Act and fought to secure critical provisions for El Paso workers and their families, and invested $2 trillion to help our public health systems, state and local governments, and small businesses. Several resources are still available to El Pasoans who are struggling in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Representatives from the El Paso County, City of El Paso, Workforce Solutions Boderplex, Paso Del Norte Community Foundation, El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank, and Project Bravo will highlight their programs that provide financial support and services to small business owners and working families.

This virtual resource fair is free, open to the public, and will be conducted through Zoom. ASL interpretation and Spanish translation will be available. 

To learn more about resources available for individuals who are facing economic hardship and would benefit from rental, utility, and childcare financial support, food bank distributions, and more, please register HERE.
