About the Organization
East End Cooperative Ministry changes the lives of those facing the impacts of poverty. Whether offering meals and pantry items to those who are experiencing food insecurity, working alongside those without a safe place to live and recover and with barriers to obtaining employment, or reaching out to young people to help them work toward a brighter future, EECM is always here.
EECM was founded in 1970 as a collective response to changes in the East End, born when local faith communities recognized that the troubles of their neighbors were too great for any one of them to address alone. EECM was initially envisioned to serve the young, the elderly and the poor of the area, as well as promote interfaith events. Throughout its 50 years, EECM has continued to respond to changing community needs through its programs and services.
