A Bittersweet Goodbye & An Exciting New Chapter ❤️

Friday was a bittersweet day for ECHO as we moved out of the office space we’ve been so fortunate to call home over the years.

We want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to Abilities LLC for their incredible generosity and support. Because of their willingness to share their space with us, ECHO was able to focus more of our time, energy, and resources on what matters most—feeding hungry children in Johnson County.

Their generosity has been such a meaningful part of our journey. They supported us, believed in our mission, and helped us along the way, and we will always be grateful for that.

While it was hard to say goodbye to a space that holds so many memories, we are incredibly excited for this next chapter! Our new location gives us more space to grow and allows us to continue expanding our ability to serve children and families in our community.

Abilities LLC, thank you for opening your doors to ECHO and supporting us throughout the years. Your generosity made a difference—not just for our organization, but for the hungry children we serve. We are truly grateful. 💙

Here’s to new spaces, new opportunities, and an exciting future for ECHO!
