This time of year is always exciting at ECM as we move into our regular schedule of volunteer opportunities and projects where people like you lend a helping hand and demonstrate what it looks like to be a good neighbor. In fact, around this time 5 years ago, ECM had our first group of volunteers work with us. Now, 5 years later, 13,820 people have volunteered with ECM and 1,281 families have partnered with ECM volunteers to complete a project at their home. It's been an amazing 5 years and I'm looking forward to seeing what the next 5 years hold in store!
