El Paso needs your help

[Brisketexan 105043]

If you've been following the news, shit is bad.  Really bad.  There's lots they need, but there's only so much regular folks can do.  But here's a thing you can do, and they desperately need it: please donate to their food bank.  They are just about out of money and out of food.  And the people of El Paso have never needed it more:  https://elpasoansfightinghunger.org/donate

El Paso is good people, and a lot of them are hard working folks who make enough, but not a lot more than that.  And even without accounting for ordered business limitations, because people are taking the COVID surge there seriously, work (and thus pay) is taking a nosedive for a lot of them right now.  They need our help. 

This is what we fucking do, and now is when we fucking do it.

So let's help our fellow Texans in their hour of need.  I'd sure appreciate it, and they will too.

[InkaUtexas 25854]

In for tree fiddy. 

[TexArcher 37761]

El Paso is good people, indeed.  Donated.

Come on, surly, kick in a few bucks for some fellow Texans.  $1 = 7 meals, which is pretty remarkable.

[BearSchlong 8082]

Done.  I'll forgo a few ribeyes in lieu of leftovers.

[immamac 42832]

Surlyhorns will donate $1 for every posrep on briskets OP. I chose him since it doesn't matter how much karma whoring he does he's already #1 lol

Will be checking in tomorrow and the next day until people stop repping much then post a picture of the donation. 

[TexArcher 37761]

[InkaUtexas 25854]

One thing I love about this site. No matter what assholes we are to each other this is not the first time I have seen the group come together to assist an organization one of us points out. 

 

Good job Brisket, and props to you Immamac. 

[joe dirt 285]

I learned everything I needed to know about benign aliases for shady business dealings from my local strip club.  You might know it from your credit card statements as "Auto Parts unlimited, LLC."

[Damor 1236]

In.

Thanks to Brisket and his buddy Art Vandelay, who must be the go-between. I guess it makes sense for an importer-exporter to be in a border town.

[horngrad03 1148]

Pos rep and sent $25. 

[Planet Houston 4930]

In for a Benjamin. And a pos rep for another $1. 

[The Royal We 3067]

Donated.

Thanks for posting this Brisket.

[mrlasky 28]

Done 2 bills

[Bigbend1812 12915]

[Hate 20106]

Donated to my fellow Texans. While they may be closer to LA than Houston, they are still Texans to me.

[pacman 7354]

Thank you for the heads up.

[RPM 26315]

I'm in. Texans helping Texans is the right thing to do.

[RMac5 1551]

Yep!

[miguelito 11250]

Just for the hell of it,  will surly donate for neg reps?  You might raise more money that way.

[immamac 42832]

Yeah all reps. Lol neg rep didn't make sense, but I'll allow it. 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

I'm in.

Thanks for posting. 

[Newdoc 3439]

This is a legit food bank. They do a lot of good work and combine forces with local faith based groups as well. I'm in.  This food distribution was a big deal months ago in Central Texas and helped out a lot of struggling families at the time. 

 

And this was one of the shortest Brisket post ever.

That’s worth the rep right there alone.

[conVINCEd 21469]

I had $30 sitting in a Paypal account that I had forgotten about. This seems like a good way to spend it.  Done.

[RiverwalkMiner 247]

Donated. As the Miner on board, big thanks to Brisket.

Remember, folks, neg rep still gets us another $1 for food.  If that makes you feel better, neg away.  I'm a big boy, I can take it.

[Knoxtnhorn 5971]

Just donated.  Thanks for bringing this to our attention @Brisketexan

[Samson's Wig 3189]

Done.  Thanks, BT,  for the bringing this up and providing the nudge.

[MajorMajor 109]

Donated, thanks Brisket for highlighting this need.

[MajorMajor 109]

Also, don't forget that many companies match nonprofit donations.

[pch 1259]

In for a Benjamin.  With what I saved not attending Longhorn games thanks to Covid, this was not difficult.  Thanks for the heads up Brisket.  And you never know when someday we might find ourselves in this same boat-karma investments always have a good return.

Your gotdamn right.

“You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other."  Said by this guy:

 

Don't get more Texan than that.

 

[3adays 454]

In for a hunsky. Thank you Brisket for the reminder. I’ve been donating to the Central Texas Food Bank, but the need seems much bigger with the good folks of El Paso. 

[Player 4575]

Donated - and proud of you assholes.

Now for your listening pleasure, I give you the great Marty Robbins. Take it away Marty.

[Royalfan5 2353]

Not actually a Texan but still chipped in

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19100]

Late to the game, but I put another $100 in.  Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Brisket.  FyI, this is what I enjoy about this community.  We are all a bunch of assholes, but we are generous assholes.

[GottaB 594]

Donated.

[UTGrad98 2271]

This is now the second cause I have ever donated to. What the hell are you people doing to me. 

[Party_Taco 3722]

Done - Thanks for making it easy.

Every single time I fly into EP, I sing this to myself in my head. It’s a compulsion, I can’t stop it.

I appreciate y’all stepping up here. This shit is real, and it’s important.
