The Ecumenical Community Center of Cedar Rapids Iowa

Our Mission

Sharing Ministries of Humanitarian Care and Service
with the Surrounding Neighborhoods

Times have been especially tough

for people with limited financial resources. Disaster funds available earlier are winding down. People are still struggling.

Here at ECCF,

you can help neighbors in need, or you can request assistance for basic needs.

Requests for assistance are opportunities to review resources and options. Along with rent, utility, auto gas, and ID assistance, community gifts to ECCF provide financial and life coaching. We also distribute resource lists and in-kind donations of necessities like laundry and dish soap, toilet tissue, and personal care items.

Who helped you when you needed it the most?

People in urgent need come to ECCF for help with rent, utilities, transportation, education, and other basic needs. While we’re helping with immediate needs, we have the opportunity to guide people toward longer term solutions.

But this takes time.

We devote many hours each month to giving help and hope to neighbors in need.

Can you bring a few hours of your lived experience and compassion to make better todays and brighter tomorrows for our neighbors who struggle?

Or do you just have a few hours each month to help us with teaching, or with data entry?

Come visit and see if what we do aligns with the causes you believe in.

Be the one who helped when they needed it the most!
