EECM reaches out to people of all ages and circumstances in life. To respond to their particular needs, we offer a wide range of programs in the areas of Hunger Services, Housing Services, and Children & Youth Services. We continue to work at improving and expanding our services, as well as developing new, Targeted Services to meet the changing needs of our community.
Each of these programs and services provides much-needed assistance for individuals and families throughout the East End community, helping people through some of the most difficult times they’ll ever experience.
