HOW TO HELP
Sarah shared that 27 years ago, with the help of ECHO, we were able to provide food for her and her children during a time of great need. Since that first visit nearly three decades ago, Sarah and her family had remained stable and hadn’t needed assistance from a food pantry in all those years.
But at the beginning of 2025, everything changed.
A sudden medical crisis in her family disrupted her stability, making it difficult for her to afford groceries that week. For the first time in 27 years, Sarah found herself needing help once again.
Because of YOU, ECHO was there for her — just like before. We provided Sarah with food that day, along with a list of nearby food pantries and information about additional programs that could support her moving forward.
Your generosity made it possible to show Sarah — and families like hers — that even after all these years, they are never alone.
