We often participate in local programs to address hunger and other needs both locally and beyond Below are some of them.
Rise Against Hunger
EHST has joined together with other secular organizations and groups in the Triangle to help feed the needy via the Rise Against Hunger system. In 2024 and 2025 we packed food along with the Triangle Freethought Society, the Chapel Hill Assembly, and the Secular Women of the Triangle. We look forward to doing more of these.
First Sunday Food Collection
The first Sunday of each month our members contribute food items for distribution to local food pantries. The mission a food pantry is to be a local resource to hunger by working with the community to provide food security, adequate food supplies and support individuals and families. The needy self-shop for grocery items on the pantry shelves to take home and prepare. Local shelters are at the Interfaith Council in Carrboro, and CORA in Chapel Hill, and of course both Durham and Raleigh have such pantries.
Annual CROP Walk
We have participated in the annual Chapel Hill – Carrboro CROP walk for many years. This interfaith fundraiser aims to raise funds for both world hunger and local hunger needs. The walk takes place regularly in March or April each year.
Other Projects
We are always on the lookout for local programs we can help via volunteer projects and programs.
