Wish List During the Pandemic

Help the staff to keep the youth mentally and physically active.

During this time when volunteers are not able to bring the usual variety of activities and attention, staff would truly appreciate our help to keep the youth positively engaged.  Email echoglenkids@gmail.com to schedule a convenient time to drop off donations.  Thank you for your amazing generosity!
