ECHO Food Room Most Needed Items - Spring 2024

Thank you for including ECHO Food Room needs on your shopping list.
• Choose sizes appropriate for our average family size of four.
• Include an assortment of food to ensure a variety of items for our clients.
• Because of the generosity of our community, ECHO has an ample supply of canned vegetables (especially green beans), can pumpkin, applesauce, and stuffing. However, we are short on many other items such as personal care products and the items listed below.
• ECHO continues to see a deficit of several thousand pounds a month between food donated and food given to clients. Since the beginning of the pandemic ECHO has seen an increase in need and this need has not abated. Any donation, large or small, is most gratefully welcomed.

• ECHO 's policy is to not give expired, open or repackaged food to clients. PLEASE do not bring these items to ECHO.
