The International Caucus and Youth Summit 

Since 2015, EP International Ministries, Inc. has held The International Caucus and Youth Summit in Baltimore City. The purpose of this event is to (1) provide support to Baltimore City & its youth, (2) promote positive change, and (3) raise funds in support of these efforts. In light of recent events, this occasion is a way to put a positive spotlight on the youth of Baltimore City and (4) connect youth with local business owners who will mentor them, teach them life skills, and their trade. This is an event to equip and empower our local youth, regardless of their racial, educational, socioeconomic, or religious background.  The International Caucus and Youth Summit pinpoints  leaders among our youth who, as a result of the demonstrations that have taken  place in Baltimore City over the past year, recognize that it’s time to take  the next step in moving Baltimore forward on a local level.  In addition, we  offer access to useful resources such as apprenticeship programs, back  to school supplies, representatives from local colleges, a “mini job fair” featuring local employers and voter registration. Our goal is to show, especially the youth, the actions that need to be taken to help launch our great city into a global partnership with other youth and leaders around the world. Nations, states, other cities and local municipalities are watching how we have responded and how we will respond.  

The GIVE Fest

On the Saturday before Thanksgiving each year EP International Ministries, Inc. holds The GIVE Fest in West Baltimore at Easterwood Recreation (2016-2019) and Loch Raven United Methodist Church (2021-2022). The purpose of this event is to (1) provide everything needed for Thanksgiving dinner to families who otherwise would not be able to afford a healthy meal on this major holiday, (2) promote positive change in the lives of those in need of clothing for job interviews and everyday use and wear, and (3) provide fresh produce to families who live in a food desert to increase healthy food alternatives. This event is free and open to the public. Our goal is to always respond to the immediate needs of the communities in and around our great city. We also provide breakfast and lunch to meet the immediate need of those who may be hungry and without the means of a kitchen. In 2021 our efforts were a huge success and by 8 o'clock in the morning hundreds of people were in line wrapped around the building. We were able to give away over 300 turkeys and shopping bags filled with all the trimmings as well as fresh hot food for breakfast and lunch. It was because of your generous donation that we were able to make The GIVE FEST a success!
