The program is largely self-funded and works this way:
$5.50 = 1 Lunch
***We never require nor force anyone to GIVE. It is not a prerequisite for serving at EP. With that being said, the fact that everyday people can and do give is the lifeblood of the project. Everything about this project has been sacrifice and hard work on behalf of strangers since its inception. And we welcome all to stretch for their fellow brother/sister/child. Even 1 lunch means that 1 more person eats.
We ask that you come with your heart full of love and ready to make lunches, color bags, and give hope to many.
