EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — For over 20 years, Jalisco Cafe in El Paso has opened its doors on Thanksgiving Day to serve a free traditional meal to those in need.
This year, the tradition continues.
Struggling families, veterans, newcomers, and individuals from all walks of life are invited to enjoy the same traditional meal that many of us are fortunate to share,” said Hector Chavez, proprietor of Jalisco Cafe. “We’ve been blessed to serve El Paso since 1954, and this is our way of giving back to the community that has supported us. Our Thanksgiving is your Thanksgiving.
