To help feed the need during the break summer break, Ecumenical Hunger Program partnered with Loaves & Fishes to provide free nutritious meals to our clients throughout the Summer (6/13 - 8/5/16). Food insecurity increases during the summer break without access to the nutrition provided by the National School Lunch Program. 

The meal program has been extended and we will serve hot lunches on Tuesdays and Fridays, beginning October 4. Thank you to our dedicated volunteers for continuing this necessary program.

Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen is open 360 days a year including throughout summer. We provide free nutritious prepared meals to anyone in need with a special emphasis on families, seniors and the homeless. This year Loaves & Fishes is on track to serve 360,000 meals to 200,000 unduplicated individuals, including 45,000 children in Santa Clara County. 
​
A special thank you to Second Harvest Food Bank for introducing both organizations.

30+ year EHP volunteer Janet Refvem

Janet has worked in a variety of areas during her 30 plus years as a volunteer at EHP.  Her dedication, dependability and generosity have created a legacy that will forever be a part of the organization.  As a volunteer in the Community Closet, Janet expertly handles the care and distribution of baby items.  Janet’s enthusiasm and initiative as a volunteer is commendable.  She is meticulous and ensures everyone she serves receives quality items, and a caring attitude.  Janet has played a significant role in the evolution of the Community Closet and how EHP serves those in need.  Janet’s volunteer spirit helps the organization.  Those who are served speak of the wonderful items they receive from the Community Closet and tell of Janet’s care and respectful attitude.  This grassroot publicity enhances our standing within the community, and beyond, which impacts our donor giving, and the overall success of the organization.

First year EHP volunteer Val Perkins

In her first year of service at EHP, Val serves a major role in assisting individuals and families with the selection of clothing.  She listens to their needs and tactfully suggests appropriate garments.  She is calm, engaging and respectful; maintaining the confidentiality of all she serves.  Val is pro-active; she tackles the tasks at hand and beyond, volunteering wherever needed.  She is dependable, organized, creative, and an excellent Team Builder.  Val has great people and communications skills that are effective in serving a diverse community.  She is kind and generous with her time and resources.  Val is a great addition to our volunteer team.  Volunteering at EHP helps the community as many of those served also live in the community.  Val frees the staff person assigned to her area to do other tasks, knowing that families and individuals will be taken care of with the respect, confidentiality, and professionalism that are trademarks of EHP.

Local Philanthropists Join Forces to Support EHP Cares

​In October 2015, EHP was the recipient of a generous donation, a result of the combined efforts of two Stanford community philanthropists who offered their handmade jewelry for sale during a two-day fundraiser earlier that month.
 
When Molly Agras met an EHP board member last summer and heard firsthand about the food and clothing distribution, as well as the many other EHP programs that help people in need, she stepped right up. “I’d like to hold a jewelry sale fundraiser in my home and donate the proceeds to EHP,” she proclaimed. “I could be ready by October.”
 
Molly, a retired businesswoman who for the past several years has supported various organizations with an annual fundraiser, delivered on that promise. She started by adding several pieces to her inventory of beautiful handmade jewelry. Later she met with EHP’s Executive Director, Lesia Preston, to coordinate publicity efforts. “I was delighted to meet Molly,” said Lesia. “Her jewelry is amazing, and we’re so grateful for her enormous efforts to support EHP!
 
Molly also enlisted her friend Joy Scott, another skilled jewelry maker and philanthropist, to participate in the sale benefitting EHP. “I’m happy to share my proceeds with EHP,” said Joy, a retired librarian, whose next fundraiser, which will be in her own home studio, will benefit Doctors Without Borders.
 
On October 16 and 17, Molly opened her home studio on the Stanford campus to an enthusiastic group of people eager to support EHP and purchase jewelry made by Molly and Joy.
 
“We need to get the word out about EHP,” Molly declared at the end of her successful fundraiser. Her charitable spirit always active, Molly was already thinking ahead, assuming that the more people know about EHP, the more likely it is they will become supporters and volunteers.
