Review for Ecumenical Hunger Program, East Palo Alto, CA, USA
I've been involved with EHP for 20 years, as a volunteer in many parts of the organization and as a former board member. EHP has continued year after year, for over 40 years, to provide critically important support to individuals and families experiencing economic hardship in Silicon Valley. It's no surprise to anyone who knows this area that even extended families, living in one apartment, with two or more adults earning at or near the minimum wage cannot make ends meet. EHP's vital role is to provide a safety net -- food, clothing, household goods, furniture, children's programs, and referral services -- that keeps people from despair and homelessness. With a dedicated staff and hundreds of volunteers, everyone receives the support they need, and more importantly, their spirits are lifted because they are treated with respect, dignity, and always a warm smile.
