In 2017, gifts to ECCF’s Helping Hands Ministry (HHM) assisted 588 unduplicated individuals, fulfilling 1536 of their many requests for financial and transportation assistance. Gifts to ECCF’s HHM assisted these 588 people in 310 families that included approximately 230 children. Most duplication is for Bus Tickets, Auto Gas & some ID replacement. These families were assisted with $30,000 in financial assistance that helped with rent, utilities, transportation and ID replacement. Many more individuals and families received community resource information and referrals, toiletries, laundry soap and other basic items here.
