EBCAP’s Annual Fund for Basic Human Needs

DONATE

None of us ever really knows when circumstances in our lives might change. How the unexpected can turn a certainty into a challenge. How a challenge can quickly become a struggle to stay safe, healthy, and secure. The Basic Human Needs Fund is a lifeline for people in crisis. Your gift will help individuals and families with necessities such as rent, food, and clothing. Thank you for your kind support.
