Mail box food drive set May 11 

The National Association of Letter Carriers, United Way of El Paso County, and other partners will conduct the 21st Annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, the nation's largest single-day food drive, May 11,.

Locally, Stamp Out Hunger's goal is to collect 100 million pounds of food for El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank (EPFHFB) to distribute to families in need in the community.

Food Drive organizers say that more than 25 percent of children and adults in El Paso face the problem of hunger.

To support the food drive, El Pasoans are asked to simply leave non-perishable food donations by their mailboxes Saturday, May 11.

Film explores reasons for poverty 

Why does poverty exist when there is so much wealth in the world? The Pax Christi film for May explores that question.

Charles Masters, of The Hollywood Reporter, describes this film as “a sort of ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ for global economics.” “The End of Poverty?” will be shown at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 19, at the Mother Teresa Center, 2400 East Yandell Drive. Admission is free.

This series of films is sponsored by Pax Christi El Paso and the Peace and Justice Ministry of the El Paso Catholic Diocese. For more information, call (915) 490-1451 or (915) 740-3962.
