ECHO Food Drive

Event Details

ECHO, an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, gives food and financial help to people with short-term emergencies, and provides clothes and household items to people with low incomes in the Springfield/Burke area.

 ECHO experienced a 6,000-lb. deficit in food donations and client giving in January. With food price increases and the pandemic, there has been an increase in need.

Go Local is hosting a food drive on Saturday, March 18th, from 10am-1pm at Burke Community Church. Our goal is to donate 2,000 lbs. of food to our partner and provide much-needed assistance to the community. Please see our list below of needed items and help us reach our 2,000-lb. goal. If you have any questions, email [email protected].
