Empowering Dreams, Uplifting Communities.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering the local Latinx and underserved communities in El Paso.
At Plant a Seed, we understand the unique struggles faced by individuals and families from under-served, under-resourced, and under-educated communities. Our founders, Wendy and Miguel Gamillo, are first-generation Mexican Americans, born and raised in El Paso, Tx, who bring personal experience and a deep connection to the community.
As a former case manager, Wendy worked directly with families facing various challenges. She witnessed firsthand the limitations of state social service programs in addressing larger systemic issues and providing achievable, holistic solutions.
Driven by her experiences, Wendy was inspired to establish Plant a Seed, a non-profit organization that bridges the gaps and offers comprehensive support to individuals and families in need. Her dedication, empathy, and determination form the foundation of our organization’s mission and values.
Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in Plant a Seed. Together, let’s sow the seeds of change and cultivate a thriving community.

Plant A Seed is rallying the community for an event that truly matters. On May 18, 2025, we’re hosting a powerful 5K Run/Walk Against Human Trafficking, and we need you to be a part of this essential movement.
Make Every Step Count: Lace up your shoes and take strides toward a world free from human trafficking. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or somewhere in between, your steps matter in the fight against exploitation.
Raise Awareness: Human trafficking is a grave issue that affects countless lives. By participating, you’re not just walking; you’re shining a light on this dark reality. Awareness is the first step toward change.
Unite for Change: Join a compassionate community of individuals who share your commitment to ending trafficking. Together, we’re a force to be reckoned with, and together, we can make a lasting impact.
Supporting the Paso del Norte Center of Hope:
When you take part in this event, you’re not just walking or running; you’re extending a lifeline to survivors of human trafficking. A significant percentage of the proceeds will be devoted to the Paso del Norte Center of Hope, a beacon of hope for those who have endured unimaginable suffering. Your participation becomes a direct channel of support, breathing life into their mission of healing, empowerment, and renewal. Join us in making each step not just a stride forward but a giant leap towards brighter futures for survivors.
