$3,000 goal
This Spring we’re sharing weekly videos and photos highlighting stories from ECO staff and program alumni. Do you have your own story to share about ECO?
We want you to share your stories, connect with others and show your support! Your contributions will help to ensure that more people will have meaningful experiences at ECO and have their own stories to share. Funds raised from this campaign will support the 2019 SEED2FEED Summer Youth program and purchase of farming tools and supplies for the season.
