ABOUT US

Established in 1987, the Emergency Care Help Organization (E.C.H.O.) of Brandon is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community emergency food and disaster relief organization. Families who are having trouble making ends meet are given food, clothing, and household items assistance. E.C.H.O. provides help to Greater Brandon area single parents, homeless persons, retirees, families in transition, under-employed and unemployed households, grandparents raising grandchildren and others in need.

Who we are

E.C.H.O. is a volunteer-driven organization. Over 60 volunteers work at ECHO on a weekly basis to ensure each family is given the help they need.
