Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t have my documents, what do I do?
We would be happy to provide resources to other agencies until you get your documents taken care of and even provide you with a small amount of food in the meantime.
What do I need to register with ECHO?
You will need an ID, a social security card or birth certificate for yourself and anyone else in the home needing services, and a recent piece of mail with your current address.
I just came in last month, can I get help again?
Unfortunately, ECHO exists to help those people that are in emergencies and you can only come once in a 4 month period. We would be happy to provide other resources for any ongoing food needs. Visit the local food pantries in your area here.
I’m homeless, can I still receive help?
Of course, our homeless neighbors can come to ECHO once in a month period if needed. ID is required.
