Ecumenical Hunger Program

The Ecumenical Hunger Program (EHP) is a nonprofit organization based in East Palo Alto, CA, that has been providing compassionate and practical assistance to families and individuals experiencing economic and personal hardship since 1975. EHP offers a range of foundational programs, including direct food resources, clothing, household essentials, safety-net resources for youth, and special holiday distributions. In addition, EHP has recently rolled out expanded safety-net programs, thanks to the generosity of local donors, which will provide $2 million in direct assistance to neighbors-in-need over a two-year period starting in July 2022. These programs are carefully designed with one-on-one case management to address the specific needs of individuals and families, aiming to move them towards self-sufficiency and create a lasting impact in their lives.

EHP's mission goes beyond being a social service agency that connects people to resources. They strive to build relationships and create a community of support that provides hope to replace despair. With a focus on meeting both material and intangible needs, EHP offers not only material help and support services but also advocacy for their neighbors in need. Their goal is to provide compassionate and dignified assistance, while also encouraging, supporting, and nourishing individuals and families through difficult times. EHP's dedication to their mission has earned them recognition as a 2022 California Nonprofit of the Year, highlighting their critical aid in East Palo Alto, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and the surrounding area.
