Good morning, El Paso.
🏘️ Community
Abundant Church in El Paso launched its True Heart of Abundant campaign on Nov.
16 by giving hundreds of baby care boxes with formula, diapers, wipes, and other essentials to families in need at its three campuses—following a viral TikTok call that led the church to act. The church said it will continue to show love and help the community through its expanded food pantry outreach—upholding its 48-year mission.
🎭 Culture
El Paso will honor WWE icon Eddie Guerrero on November 18 with a citywide proclamation at City Council, celebrating his deep ties to local lucha libre culture.
The event will include his family members and community fans, with lowrider cars parked near City Hall—inviting residents to wear luchador masks as part of the tribute.
🎓 Education
