ECHO assists people in need in our community, those who suffer the effects of long-term poverty as well as those who are experiencing an emergency financial need. They provide food and financial assistance to help families or individuals through a crisis. They also offer access to donated clothing, school supplies, and household goods such as bed linens, cookware, and small appliances to ease the burden of those who struggle with long-term low income.

Spaghetti Sauce, Muffin/Corn Meal Mix, Box Potatoes, Can tomatoes, Healthy Snacks (Raisins, Nuts, Dry Fruit, Granola bars), Tuna, Sardines, Honey, Bags of Beans, Bags of Rice, Juice (Large Bottles or pouches), Sugar, Flour, Masa Flour, Crackers, Mayonnaise, Mustard, Liquid Dish Soap, Shaving Cream, Laundry Detergent, Toilet Paper, Facial Tissue, Paper Towels.
