Our 30th celebration was a beautiful time to reflect...celebrate...look to the future...
Last night, it was announced that ECHO would receive the Bank of America Neighborhood Builders Grant for 2017. Only 64 Neighborhood Builders are awarded in the entire nation! Wow! So, what does this mean for our community? Drum roll please.....ECHO plans to open a second campus in South County! Currently, 25% of all served hail from the Greater Riverview Community. When I think of serving the hungry and hurting of South County, in South County...I am overcome with joy. Obviously, the expansion will create the need for additional in kind donations, as well as financial support. But, I have every confidence that it is time to grow. It is time to multiply our efforts. It is time to expand our reach. It is time to help even more neighbors in need.
South County....here we come!
