Thank you for your support throughout the year — we wish you warm wishes this holiday season! We are working to make an impact in the El Paso community and it would not be possible without you. With your support, the GECU Foundation* donated more than $400,000 in 2020, and more than half of those funds assisted COVID-19-related causes. When we come together, we can make a big difference. Thank you!
