If you've been following the news, shit is bad.  Really bad.  There's lots they need, but there's only so much regular folks can do.  But here's a thing you can do, and they desperately need it: please donate to their food bank.  They are just about out of money and out of food.  And the people of El Paso have never needed it more:  https://elpasoansfightinghunger.org/donate

El Paso is good people, and a lot of them are hard working folks who make enough, but not a lot more than that.  And even without accounting for ordered business limitations, because people are taking the COVID surge there seriously, work (and thus pay) is taking a nosedive for a lot of them right now.  They need our help. 

This is what we fucking do, and now is when we fucking do it.

So let's help our fellow Texans in their hour of need.  I'd sure appreciate it, and they will too.

Will match up to $1k total more.  Post your screenshots by end of day brothers.  Thanks for sharing Brisket

Just in case you were wondering how bad it is in El Paso; BBC.com has an article about it on their website, so the international media is paying attention

Overflowing hospitals

With cases going up by more than a thousand every day in El Paso, some 76,000 people have now been infected. That's about the same number of confirmed cases as in the whole of Greece or Libya.

Data shows 1,120 El Paso residents are currently in hospital with the virus, and this number is expected to rise. That means that of all the Covid patients in hospital across the state of Texas, one in six is in El Paso, according to the latest figures. A total of 782 people are known to have died.

Both hospitals and staff are struggling to cope. An El Paso University Medical Center spokesman said the hospital recognised the "physical and emotional" toll the pandemic was taking on healthcare workers.

As officials race to keep up with the rapidly increasing number of sick people, El Paso city's convention centre was recently converted into a makeshift hospital to provide extra beds. Some facilities are so overrun that patients are being airlifted to other cities in the state.

On Monday, El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego said the county had opened 500 extra hospital beds so far, but at the rate the virus was spreading, those beds would be full by next week.

Oh, I'm in contact with people on the ground there.....it's as bad and demoralizing as you can imagine.  It's just fucking awful.  Anything y'all can do to help (and man, there ain't a whole lot we can do but things like this), please do so.

Bump. Feels like I’ve received over $100 in junk mail from the El Paso hunger org since I donated $100 4 years ago. Obvious exaggeration but the biggest pain with charities is their consistency in asking for more.
