The Opportunity Center is extremely grateful to our donors, both new and returning. We gladly welcome donations of any size to assist us in our efforts to care for the homeless men and women that pass through our doors. Thank you for your generosity and support!

With the advent of the 2008 economic crisis in our country and community, there has been an increase of homelessness in many of the shelters in El Paso, Texas, and most are filled beyond their capacities. The Opportunity Center for the Homeless is the largest homeless shelter system in west Texas and southern New Mexico. We serve approximately 350 homeless each day!

This additional influx of homeless to the Opportunity Center for the Homeless has stressed our limits. Our current staff and volunteers are balancing the increased workload, but our donations have also decreased due mostly to continued economic stress. We are doing everything that we can to provide sufficient services, adequate upkeep of the facilities, and long-term case management, but we need your generous support to ensure our mission.

If you are already one of our cherished donors, and able to provide more, please do so. If you are a new donor, know that every dollar that you contribute dramatically increases our ability to make a difference in the lives and future of the homeless that we serve. We served 127,339 meals in 2011! Help us continue to provide an ‘opportunity’ to someone less fortunate or down on their luck. We encourage our donors to visit us at any time and see the good work that your support is providing!
