Evergreen Christian Outreach (EChO) is a non-profit operating in the mountain communities of Jefferson County. The mission of EChO is to provide short term emergency assistance to residents who may be unemployed, underemployed, dealing with long term illness, or experiencing other forms of personal crisis. We operate a food bank, offer clothing assistance, and provide limited financial assistance to residents for rent/mortgage assistance, utilities, phone, car repairs, child care and educational expenses. EChO also operates a Resale shop on Hwy 74 in Evergreen. Donations of clothing, housewares, furniture, and other items are processed, then sold at the store, with all proceeds coming back into EChO and returned to the community
