Ecumenical Hunger Program Opens Technology Access Point		Reversing History: The Dumbarton Dialogue Project
Come to March 25th "Threads 650" Neighborhood Celebration and EHP TAP Grand Opening! The ninth and last Technology Access Point (TAP) has just opened at Ecumenical Hunger Program(EHP), recently moved into its new permanent location at 2411 Pulgas Avenue between Weeks and Bay. EHP had been interested in becoming a TAP earlier, but was in the midst of moving at that point. Now they have a spacious new facility for their 10 desktop computer lab.

So it provides a lot of opportunities for our clients." Click to read more...

Cooking for those in need By Mikaya Strickling A few weeks ago I was at work and a co-worker was explaining to me that when we give, we automatically receive the joy of giving, so in giving you also receive. Took me a minute...but I got it. It could have been a coincidence or my destiny, but I saw that conversation come to life when I had a chance to interview Carol Baumgartner, known to all as "Mama Celeste." Click to read more...
