Our Programs
A New Beginning
ECC partners with Wesley House Emergency Shelter in Chester, PA to provide Welcome Kits for families who are seeking emergency shelter at this facility. Recipient families will take the supplies provided in the kits with them as they move to their transition homes and eventually to their permanent homes. If you prefer to make a cash donation, please do so now and ECC volunteers and/or Wesley House staff are available to shop for desired items. Go to the “GIVE NOW” tab and any amount you give will be used to make a positive difference in a child’s life.
