ECUMENICAL PARTNERSHIP FOR HOUSING Ecumenical Partnership for Housing (EPH) is a nonprofit organization working in partnership with 21 area churches to serve local families with children facing homelessness by providing housing, case management, and eviction prevention services.
How We Help
Calvary Lutheran Church has partnered with EPH for many years. We have adopted the lower unit of a duplex used to provide housing for a family with children experiencing homelessness and volunteers from Calvary Lutheran Church help get the home ready for a new family to move in each time it becomes vacant by cleaning, decorating, and stocking it with supplies. We also help with lawn care and snow removal. Our home is known as the James Lower.
Members of Calvary Lutheran Church volunteer to serve on the EPH Board of Directors and as part of the EPH Unit Coordinator Team. We also support EPH by participating in the annual direct mail campaign to raise funds for the organization.
