“Echo ministries inc provides tangible needs to children in care and only for children or young adults who are in foster, adoptive, relative, or non- relative care.”

“Echo was established to help provide for spiritual and tangible needs of children in foster care. Children are removed every day from their homes due to abuse and neglect. Almost always they arrive at a new home with only clothes on their backs. We are an organization designed to help provide for the tangible needs of these children through our many echo shops as well as work within the community to strengthen the system of support.”

“We have five echo shops with more in process. We work to assist caregivers by lessening their financial repsponsibility so they can focus on the important mission of caring for the children. Each shop has a team of volunteers ready to listen, pray for and serve these families. Foster, adoptive and kinship caregivers are offered seven items per child in their legal custody, per month, when they bring their child placement. New placements receive 14 items on their first visit. All items are free of charge. We colldect new and gently used items including clothing, undergarments, shoes, diapers, furniture, baby equipment, sports equipment, school supplies, hygiene products and much more which is sorted in our warehouse and distributed to the echo shops.”
