The El Paso County Commissioners Court unanimously adopted a resolution Nov. 17 recognizing Operation Helping People Endure Hope (Operation Hope) and its partnership with Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling for community outreach events this holiday season.
Commissioner Coronado read the resolution into the record, noting Operation Hope’s three decades of service in El Paso and announcing the organization’s 30th annual Thanksgiving food distribution on Nov. 22, 2025, at the El Paso County Coliseum. The resolution also referenced a December toy drive tied to TNA shows and a formal toy‑presentation on Dec. 8, 2025.
Operation Hope cofounder Ruby Gomez and other organization leaders addressed the court, thanking county officials and describing the legacy of the group’s cofounder, Angel Gomez. Ross Forman, vice president of TNA Wrestling, said the promotion will return to the Coliseum in December and that performers will assist volunteers at the food distribution.
Judge Samaniego and commissioners joined in recognizing the partnership; the court’s motion to adopt the resolution carried. Speakers asked the public to attend the distribution and other related events.
The court did not authorize funding beyond routine event support and advertising noted in the resolution; the resolution records the partnership and the county’s formal recognition.
