Why this matters in The El Paso
El Paso Community College's decision to ask attendees to bring a non-perishable food item instead of purchasing a ticket for "Taming of The Shrew" speaks to the college's commitment to supporting its students' basic needs. The food items collected will go towards stocking EPCC's Tejano Mercado, a food pantry that provides essential assistance to students who may be struggling to make ends meet. This initiative highlights the critical role that institutions like EPCC play in addressing food insecurity in the community. By leveraging a cultural event like a Shakespeare play to support a vital service, EPCC is demonstrating its understanding of the complex needs of its students and its responsibility to help meet those needs. As the show runs through July 19, it will be worth watching how the community responds to this innovative approach to supporting local students.
