NEEP Collective: One More Night Of Cans For Christmas!

This Saturday, December 20th, I am inviting the entire El Paso community to come out and help us close out one of my favorite traditions of the year in the best way possible. From 4 to 7 p.m., KISS FM will be live at NEEP Collective for the final live concert of Cans For Christmas, and I would love to see you there.

I will be hosting the afternoon as Grizz of KISS FM, and this event is all about live music, good food, and showing up for our community when it matters most.

Ending Cans For Christmas the Right Way

This Saturday marks our final food collection before we load everything up and deliver it to local food pantries on December 22nd. If you have been meaning to donate, this is your last chance to be part of this year’s drive and support The Borderland Rainbow Center, EPCC's Tejano Mercado, and UTEPs Food Pantry!

We are accepting non-perishable food items, and just five items gets you entered into our raffle giveaway. We have some genuinely amazing prizes lined up, donated by local businesses and NEEP Collective itself. It is a simple way to give back and maybe walk away with something special at the same time.

Why NEEP Collective Is the Perfect Spot

If you have never been to NEEP Collective, this is the perfect excuse. NEEP is a food truck collective and patio bar with an incredible outdoor stage built for live music. You can grab drinks, explore a rotating lineup of food trucks, and enjoy one of the most welcoming hangout spots in the city.

It is the kind of place that feels built for community gatherings, which is exactly what this event is about.

Live Music, Open Mic Energy, and Local Legends

We are bringing the sound, too. The Barbed Wire Open Mic, El Paso’s premier open mic, will be joining us for the party, adding that raw, creative energy that makes our local music scene so special.

This entire event was coordinated by one of the hardest-working musicians in the city, Jez, lead singer of The PIE Sisters. Jez has been instrumental in pulling together artists, organizers, and community partners to make sure this afternoon feels powerful, inclusive, and fun.

Come Celebrate Music and Community With Us

This is not just a concert. It is a chance to hang out, give back, support local artists, and close out Cans For Christmas together. If you can spare a few cans, bring them. If you can spare a few hours, spend them with us.

This Saturday, December 20th, from 4 to 7 p.m. at NEEP Collective. Come join me, KISS FM, and some of the best people in El Paso for an afternoon of music, generosity, and community.
