The purpose of Ecumenical Community Helping Others (ECHO), Inc. is to assist the people in our community who suffer the effects of long-term poverty as well as those who are experiencing an emergency financial need. To that end, ECHO provides food and financial assistance to help families or individuals through a crisis.  They also offer access to donated clothing, school supplies, and household goods such as bed linens, cookware, and small appliances to ease the burden of those who struggle with long-term low income. 

At ECHO, they believe that a community that addresses the practical needs of its most vulnerable members fosters a spirit of unity, purpose, and tolerance that makes that community a better place for everyone to live, work, and raise a family. ECHO’s vision is to be the conduit through which neighbors who have enough can share with their neighbors who don’t.
