EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — El Paso Electric donated $5,000 worth of winter blankets to families in the Sparks and Agua Dulce communities on Wednesday.
On Wednesday morning, volunteers distributed the blankets at Sparks Park and Agua Dulce Park as residents drove up and received their blanket.
The distribution, coordinated with support from El Paso County and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, aimed to help El Paso residents stay warm during the colder months.
“Cold winter nights can be especially hard on children, seniors, and vulnerable residents. A warm blanket may seem simple, but it can make a meaningful difference for families across our community,” Karmen Mayorga, Community Engagement Specialist at El Paso Electric, said.
According to the electric company, the effort is part of its ongoing commitment to community support and local engagement.
