VOLUNTEERING
Volunteers are always needed. Following are specific needs—but if you have a special gift you would like to offer, let us know and we'll make certain it is incorporated. Our client base is 80% Hispanic so it is most helpful if you are somewhat fluent in Spanish!
LIFE Houston: We need bilingual (Spanish/English) volunteers to work with this program that provides emergency infant formula/food (birth through 12 months) to all in our community— with virtually no restrictions! The mission is to make certain the children are fed.
VITA: Volunteer Income Tax Preparation Assistance—Volunteers needed January through April 2008. Call us!
RESOURCE VALIDATION SUPPORT: Agencies come and go—and what they can provide comes and goes. We need two or three people who will help us update our resource database. Can be done at ECHOS or from your home.
GARDENING: We have a wonderful green space at ECHOS. It needs to be tended to, nurtured and cared for!
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
As with all non-profit organizations, ECHOS is always grateful for donations-small or large-made to support our operations or special projects. As a 501(C)3 organization, donations are tax deductible.
ONE TIME GIFTS HONORING THOSE WE LOVE
Memorial gifts are very special—but so are acknowledgements of birthdays, anniversaries—or just the fact that it is the first day of a new month and we want to celebrate this! ECHOS will acknowledge any and all gifts given—both to the giver and to the recipient!
ECHOS ANGELS
The ECHOS Angels Campaign supports our general operating funds. A gift of 120.00 each year makes you an ECHOS Angel! And it is our Angels that make ECHOS the viable and responsive agency that it is. Become an Angel. Share the joy! For an ECHOS Angels membership form, please call 713.270.0369.
CORPORATE GIFT PROGRAMS
If your organization has a corporate match program we would like to know. Please call and we will be happy to assist in adding ECHOS to this program.
