Another boost in the fight against hunger in El Paso
We're committed to supporting our employees' health and safety and to addressing our local communities' most critical needs. That's why we've donated to local hunger-relief organizations on behalf of each employee who received a COVID-19 vaccine or booster and/or a flu shot.* In addition, employees are doubling the impact of their personal donations to fight hunger with our matching gifts program.
Through this effort, our team in El Paso recently presented Kelly Center for Hunger Relief with a check for $25,000. We're proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.

Let’s build something together
In our El Paso market, Bank of America has worked closely with education institutions, local nonprofits, government organizations and our community members to support initiatives and grant opportunities to stimulate job creation and community engagement in our area.
We sponsor several initiatives aimed at increasing financial literacy within our community because in El Paso, we believe that tide raises all ships and the success of one small business will create even more success for all of our businesses, and so on. We are extremely proud of our employees and associates, who we consider our leaders when it comes to spearheading these initiatives through volunteering and acting as thought leaders for programs in our community.
Designing healthier career paths
Project ARRIBA takes a 360-degree approach to job placement, from helping program participants choose a career path and identify training, to providing support services such as childcare, tuition assistance and tutoring to ensure students complete their degree. Project ARRIBA is partnering with El Paso Community College, University of Texas at El Paso School of Nursing and Texas Tech School of Nursing to train 425 local residents for jobs in health care.
Back to work and helping others
In El Paso, when unemployment spikes hit the restaurant and food service industry particularly hard, the El Paso Community Foundation looked to other nonprofits for innovative ways to help newly unemployed workers. Within days of hearing of Get Shift Done, an organization across the state in Dallas, the EPCF was able to establish a local chapter to connect newly unemployed workers with paid opportunities at local food banks.
The power of the arts
At Bank of America, we believe in the power of the arts to help economies thrive, educate and enrich societies, and create greater cultural understanding. That’s why we’re helping the arts flourish in communities across the globe.
