What do I need to register with ECHO?
You will need an ID, a social security card 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.
