About this organization
Mission

About
ECHO has been the major provider of basic human needs assistance in the Springfield/Burke area of Fairfax County, Va for 51 years. Our mission is to offer food, clothing, essential housewares, and financial assistance for housing, utilities, and vital prescription drugs. Those who request our assistance are community residents, many of them living at or near the poverty level, whose basic human requirements are threatened by a hardship or emergency with which they cannot cope. ECHO's base support comes from a coalition of 25 local congregations of various faiths, the community at large, its civic and business groups, its schools, and the members of the general public. ECHO is an all-volunteer organization with an administrative cost that amounts to less than 2% of its total budget..
