| Today's Reality |
You Can Make A Difference! |
Hunger is a reality in the lives of too many members of our community.
A single mother, trying to stretch her paycheck to
cover groceries.
An elderly woman, unable to cook meals for herself.
A homeless man, struggling to find enough food to
survive.
These are the faces of hunger in the East End.
Too many of our neighbors suffer under the weight of poverty, hunger, and despair.

Tomorrow's Hope
You can partner with us to bring about a brighter future. A future in which no mother skips meals to feed her children, no father must beg for food, and no child goes to bed hungry. A future of opportunity.
At EECM, we minister to the most basic of people's needs, nourishing their health and well being, as wellas their sense of hope.
Our programs go beyond simply providing food -- we offer referrals to other social services, assistance with budgeting, and information on obtaining food stamps
and medical help. We also provide intangible support
to our clients in the form of prayer or simply a friendly volunteer to talk to.
