WHAT WE DO

Emergency Relief

The ECHO Food Pantry, along with the ECHO Clothing Closet, was created to assist our neighbors who have experienced a recent emergency and need help with basic necessities.

Individuals who have recently lost a job, experienced reduced income due to health issues, suffered a house fire, are caring for emergency foster children, or are facing other hardships are encouraged to visit us.

Neighbors in need receive 20 lbs of food, along with clothing and hygiene supplies for the entire family.

If you know someone in need, please refer them to us. They can find more information about our services and what to bring by visiting the Resources tab on our website.
