El Paso Standard

El Paso, Texas – The City of El Paso invites residents to help fellow residents this holiday season by providing a gift to benefit someone in need.

The City of El Paso Department of Community and Human Development’s Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) have hosted the Gift Giving Tree for over 30 years with the help of City employees and community members.

Tags on the Gift Giving Tree represent a gift for a child, senior or veteran. For many, these gifts will be the only present they receive, and will truly bring joy during a lonely time in the recipient’s life.

Visit the Gift Giving Tree online and choose a gift to purchase for someone less fortunate this holiday and drop it off before the deadline.

 Bienvivir All-Inclusive Senior Health
