EChO relies on the generosity of our local churches, service and community organizations, and individuals. Donations are very much appreciated and needed for us to continue to meet the needs of our mountain neighbors.

How can you help? EChO accepts donations of cash, reusable goods (clothing, furniture, housewares) and food and personal care items. All donations are distributed back into our community to those in need. Our food bank offers a variety of non-perishable items, meat, dairy, bakery and produce. Personal care items, pet food and paper products are also available. Please see our currrent needs list for items that we are requesting to stock our food bank shelves. Donations of clothing and housewares are accepted at our Clothing Assistance location (St. Raphael’s) and at our EChO ReSale Store. Our Resale Store also accepts furniture donations on a limited basis.

Cash donations are very much appreciated and needed to help fund some of our assistance programs and to purchase items for our food bank. Your generous donations have also enabled us to provide school supplies to area families as well as new shoes for students in the fall. We value your support and use your donations to best serve the needs of our mountain community.

EChO appreciates anything donated from this list as it enhances out ability to meet our communities immediate needs.

Reusable Goods

To provide food, clothing, and other necessities, the help of the entire Evergreen community is essential. Those in need are served with utmost respect, so we request that only items in good condition, clean, and in season be brought to the Outreach.

EChO handles donated reusable items two ways.
1. The EChO retail store sells many donated items which subsidize the EChO programs.
2. Reusable items are given directly to community members based on their needs.

Tax receipts can be given for donations made during Outreach business hours.
Mondays through Thursdays 12 to 6 pm
Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10 am to 4 pm
Closed Friday and weekends

Resale Donations: Donations of gently worn clothing are welcome at the following times.
