Yesterday, April 20th, during the Las Cruces City Council meeting, our community came together for a meaningful moment of giving as checks were presented to Days for Girls Global Charity and Casa de Peregrinos.
Because of the generosity of the El Paso and Las Cruces communities, real, tangible support is reaching those who need it most.
For Casa de Peregrinos and the Rescue Mission of El Paso, donations included 58 pairs of shower shoes, 39 detergents, 59 new underwear items, 43 work shoes, and 30 backpacks and coats—totaling $6,260. These are everyday essentials that restore dignity and provide relief to individuals and families navigating difficult circumstances.
In support of Days for Girls Global Charity, the impact extended even further. A total of 171 refugee menstrual kits, 96 new mother kits, and 260 school menstrual kits were donated, equaling $6,825. These kits help ensure that girls and women around the world have access to the resources they need to stay healthy, continue their education, and move forward with confidence.
This moment was a powerful reminder that even small contributions—items as simple as a $5 donation—can come together to create something truly meaningful.
To the El Paso and Las Cruces community: thank you. Your generosity, compassion, and willingness to show up for others is what made this possible. Yesterday’s ceremony was more than a presentation—it was a reflection of a community that cares deeply and acts on it.
