El Paso Businesses Prove To Be El Paso Strong As They Help Migrants In need

If you’ve driven through Downtown El Paso recently then you may notice migrant families who are trying their hardest to stay warm outside.

Temperatures overnight dipped down to below freezing causing dangerous weather conditions for people staying out in the cold.

It is so heartbreaking to think that these families will have to be outside when the coldest air of the season hits the borderland, but seeing the amount of donations and volunteer work from local businesses really restores my faith in humanity.

The hard working men at Hernandez Auto Connect, Oscar Hernandez, Adrian Hernandez, Jay Hernandez, and Adrian Arreola, decided to jump into action when they saw the conditions that migrant families had to deal with while in the U.S.

The employees at Hernandez Auto Connect decided to jump into action and gathered as many sweaters , blankets, socks , shoes and other clothing items to donate to people in need the next day.
