Addressing Hunger and Homelessness

The Presbytery of Chicago’s End Hunger and Homelessness Mission Team addresses these two issues from many angles:

• EHHMT provides direct supplemental funding to Chicago-area organizations and agencies that seek to relieve or end hunger and homelessness. Organizations and agencies applying for funding must complete the EHHMT application.  
• EHHMT partners with RELUFA in Cameroon through Chicago Joining Hands.
• The EHHMT approves and recommends a curriculum addressing all aspects of hunger.  It is provided by the Presbyterian Hunger Program in partnership with Church World Service and Advocate Health Care.
  • Just Eating – Participants Book
  • Just Eating – Leaders Guide
• EHHMT works with many Presbyterian Church (USA) groups to end hunger:
  • Presbyterian Hunger Program
  • Enough for Everyone 
  • Joining Hands 
  • Food and Faith
  • Campaign for Fair Food
  • Just Trade
  • Farm Bill
• EHHMT works with other local and national organizations. These agencies are available to provide resources, educational events, and ministry opportunities and experiences for congregations:
