About Us
Our Story
The 15:11 Project began in 2010 with one family and a simple conviction: when children and families are in need, we should not look away.
Since 2010
A Hand Opened Wide
What started with helping five children has become a community-wide effort serving nearly 900 students across the Borderland.
For more than 15 years, we have worked to meet practical needs for underprivileged students and families in El Paso, Hudspeth County, and communities from Tornillo to Anthony. Through the generosity of volunteers, donors, and local partners, we provide gifts, food, clothing, blankets, jackets, heaters, and other essentials to families who need support.
Why 15:11?
The Heart Behind Our Name
Our name comes from Deuteronomy 15:11, a call to open our hands wide to those in need. That is the heartbeat behind everything we do.
This verse shapes how we serve our neighbors across the El Paso region. We believe practical care can restore dignity, strengthen families, and remind students they are seen and valued.
Open your hand wide to your brother, to the needy and to the poor in your land.
Deuteronomy 15:11
Every outreach, every donated item, and every volunteer hour is part of that same calling to show up with compassion, consistency, and hope.
