what we do.

We are ECHO, Erwin Churches Helping Others

in the name of Jesus Christ, by providing food, supplies and a path to self sufficiency to people in the Erwin and Harnett County.

who we are.

ECHO is a coalition of local churches united by a shared commitment to eliminating food insecurity and meeting the needs of our neighbors. Rooted in the belief that loving and serving others is central to our mission, we work together across denominations to provide essential services to our community.

By partnering with food banks, grocery stores, and other organizations, we strive to ensure that no one in Erwin and the surrounding areas goes without the resources they need. Beyond food distribution, we also seek to offer educational programs, counseling services, and other forms of support to foster a stronger, more connected community. Regardless of theological differences, our common purpose is clear: to love our neighbors in tangible, meaningful ways.

Our Partners

our impact.

ECHO’s impact begins with the power of collaboration. What started as a simple effort to distribute food during the COVID-19 pandemic has grown into a movement of local churches working together to address critical community needs. Through asset mapping, we recognized the collective resources within our community and saw an opportunity to serve more effectively. By partnering with local food banks, farmers, and grocery stores, we provide monthly food distributions, ensuring that families in Erwin and the surrounding areas have access to fresh, nutritious meals.

But our vision extends beyond food—our goal is to create a hub where people can receive support through nutrition and cooking classes, health fairs, counseling services, and partnerships with other nonprofits. By focusing our energy on loving our neighbors, we are building a stronger, more compassionate community, one act of service at a time.
