EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — A community health center in El Paso’s Segundo Barrio put together food baskets for hundreds of families in need, thanks to donations.

The goal was to make 200 baskets, however as Ariana Rodarte, the Luminarias coordinator, noted, “It looks like we may end up making a little bit more.”

Rodarte also said she was grateful to everyone who came out to the event.

“We’d like to say thank you first and foremost to everybody who came to our Luminarias event on Saturday. It was a huge success, a bit windy, but nonetheless it was a successful event,” Rodarte said. “It was just really beautiful to see the El Paso community come out, especially during this holiday season.”
