The event was completely free to any member of the community. Many residents of Rio Grande City attended this event and received a free haircut along with food pantry. Alberto Escobedo, the founder of Casa de Esperanza explained what his food pantry’s mission and sole purpose, which is to help the less fortunate members of our community, including the elderly, unemployed, and homeless by providing a hot meal and non-perishable food. Casa de Esperanza is now assisting over 700 families in Starr County. Alberto Escobedo would like Thank Payne Rio Grande City for allowing him to hold this generous event and the South Texas College-Starr County Psycholoy Club for volunteering. Casa de Esperanza’s hours are 9am-11am Monday-Friday.

A special Thanks goes to Mr. Rene Pena, Grulla Middle School Principal, and his staff and Mr. Julio Eguia, Grulla High School Principal, and his staff for their continued support in all our musical endeavors and accomplishments.
