So grateful for Phil from Thompson Productions L.L.C.!
Once again, he donated 100% of his Farmer's market sales to ECHO, helping us provide weekend food for children in our community facing food insecurity.
His generosity and heart for our mission truly make a difference!
Thank you Phil!

We are so thankful for the continued support of Johnson County United Way through their Community Impact Grant.
Partnerships like this truly make a difference in the lives of local families. We are honored to work alongside those who care so deeply about our community...because hunger doesn't take the weekend off! ❤️💚💙💜

We had an amazing time this weekend at our Co****le Tournament!
Because of your support, we were able to raise funds to help fight childhood hunger in our community- and we couldn’t have done it without so many incredible people.

A huge thank you to Community National Bank & Trust for being our generous event spobsor. Your support makes a real difference in the lives of the children and families we serve.

We also want to give a special shout out to State Fair Co****le for running such a fun and well organized Tournament. You helped make the day a huge success.

And of course, thank you to everyone who came out to play, cheer, and support ECHO, as well as our amazing volunteers who gave their time and energy to make it all happen!
