EHP's programs depend upon the generosity of individuals, congregations, businesses, schools and service groups. We receive no government funding. Here are some ways in which you can support those who are less fortunate.
Online Donations
You can now make your contribution online! With our new database with eTapestry, we now have the capability for online donations. This is a secure internet transaction. Please click on the link below to make your donation.

Escrip
Spread the news! We are now a registered non-profit with eScrip! Please go to www.escrip.com and register us as your non-profit. This is a great "no fuss" way to support EHP and its programs and can make a tremendous difference to our fundraising efforts. We are listed as Ecumenical Hunger Program and our group number is 500001021. Please note, as we are not a K-12 school, Safeway purchases do not apply to our account. For more information, please contact Lesia at Lesia@ehpcares.org or call at 650-323-7781 ext.13.
Back to School, Kits for Kidz and Family Sharing Program
Formerly called "Adopt-a-Family." A little help makes a tremendous difference in the quality of life for a disadvantaged family. Donate directly to the family of your choice throughout the year or just for back to school or the holidays. To become a donor and select a family, or for more information, please call Lesia at (650) 323-7781 or email her at Lesia@ehpcares.org.
We have partnered with Kits for Kidz, a non-profit organization dedicated to making sure that every child has the necessary tools available for their education. Please visit their website www.kitsforkidz.org, select EHP from the drop down list and purchase some back-to-school kits today!
Cash Contributions
Every $1.00 you donate for food is leveraged to purchase $10.00 worth. We are able to do this through volume discounts, food banks and discount suppliers.
For every $1.00 that you donate, 15% goes toward administrative costs and 85% toward programs. EHP is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and 100% of your donation is tax deductible. For a copy of our budget and financial breakdowns, please contact Maleah Choi via email at maleah@ehpcares.org .
Vehicle Donation Program
Donate your vehicle to EHP and not only receive a tax deduction but also help families in need. All donated vehicles, worth $500 or more, will be auctioned off for the benefit of EHP programs and clients. Eight five cents of each dollor of the auction amount will directly benefit programs. For more information, please contact Lesia at 650-323-7781 or email at Lesia@ehpcares.org.
In-kind Contributions
EHP is happy to accept fresh food, clothing, working appliances (10 years or newer), furniture, household items and automobiles. We ask that these items are all undamaged and in good usable condition as they are given directly to disadvantaged families for use in their home. We provide our programs with the idea that we treat our clients as we would treat ourselves.
We also have a pick-up service available (Mid-Peninsula area) for large donations. Please call our donations coordinator at 650-323-7781 with any questions or to schedule a pick-up.
In-kind contributions are also tax deductible (at IRS allowed percentages) and receipts are given at the time of the contribution.
