SPOTLIGHT

BUILDING COMMUNITY

ONE NEIGHBOR AT A TIME

East Carver Heights Community Development Corporation builds relationship and community partnerships to connect children and families with opportunities and resources to live abundant lives. 

TAKE ACTION

Small efforts can make big change and there are several ways you can help or get involved.

OUR
PURPOSE

ECHCDC is designed for children and families who are at risk in the Columbus, GA, area. These children and their families who have been exposed to a high level of crime and violence grow to believe these are normal parts of life.

​

ECHCDC's goal is to help break the cycle of violence and poverty by getting children to believe in themselves and giving them the proper tools to succeed in life.

​

The children of today are our future. Help them build a brighter tomorrow by donating to our cause and programs that focus on creating an environment where all children can thrive in a violence-free world.

HOW WE WORK

We knew that for our community to thrive, we needed to support children and their families and grow relationships. We decided to create multiple programs that would help us do just that.
