Every day, underserved communities face a multitude of issues that stem from lack of access to resources. We hope to bring attention to a few key problems that have been prevalent in the local LA county area.

Through collaborations with other service organizations, our events have targeted these four cause areas:

 
 
 

In Los Angeles County 50 to 60 thousand people sleep without shelter each night …

 

 
 
 

Over 200,000 youth live below the poverty level…

An estimated 1.4 million people in Los Angeles County live with food insecurity…

 

 
 
 

Approx. 1 in 4 American adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year…

To address and improve these problems, we founded ECHO, a non-profit organization, to use our voices to bridge the gap in healthcare inequity. 

Start where you are.
Use what you have. Do what you can.
