My Nonprofit Reviews

Wow! Drove into the parking lot this afternoon and the lines for food pickup were as long as Covid days. Clearly it has become permanently more difficult for families to sustain themselves in this area when they have to choose between paying their escalating rents, keeping their vehicles on the road so they can get to work or feeding themselves healthy, nutritious food. EHP is helping them address all of these problems and more. A true safety net for the residents of the greater East Palo Alto area.

When COVID 19 struck, EHP pivoted quickly in response to the enormous need in the community to obtain food. As months of business closures and high unemployment have passed, EHP continues to provide nourishment to existing and new clients as well as monetary assistance with necessities such as keeping the lights on and ensuring timely rent payments. As a donor, I'm confident that the money I give is used wisely and directly to satisfy the most basic needs of our most vulnerable neighbors.

I first experienced EHP as a volunteer, bagging groceries for Holiday meals. As I found out more about the organization and the many good things they do for individuals and families in our community, I wanted to do more. So I've given money and shared my professional expertise with this outstanding nonprofit in the hopes that it will thrive and grow over the next years as it has done since its inception in 1975.
