Ecumenical Hunger Program

Ecumenical Hunger Program (EHP Cares) is a community-based nonprofit in East Palo Alto that has provided compassionate, dignified assistance since its founding in 1975. It supports working families, seniors, people with limited incomes, and others experiencing economic or personal hardship in East Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and surrounding communities.

EHP focuses on essential needs, including emergency food boxes, supplemental meal bags, fresh produce, clothing, furniture, and household items. Its programs also include case management, information and referrals for housing, utilities, health care, child care, employment, language skills, and other social services. A community garden contributes fresh produce, while youth and family programs provide nutrition and support around school, holidays, and important milestones.
