| ECHO HISTORY The Interchurch Organization (ECHO) is a non-profit agency that serves the poor and homeless of Northern Kentucy. ECHO was started by Sister Mary Dorgan, CDP and other interested laity and ministers of Campbell County. On April 19, 1991 ECHO started the first soup kitchen in Campbell County. About 30 meals, one day a week, were served out of the fellowship hall of the First Church of the Nazarene on York Street in Newport, Kentucky. In 1992, ECHO was given a tremendous gift by the Henry Hosea Family. David and Marcia Hosea bought and donated our current home of ECHO, a former VFW hall that is memorialized for David Hosea's Father and Grandfather. Thus, the Henry Hosea House was founded at 901 York Street in Newport, Kentucky. In June 1997, Karen Yates became the Executive Director and expanded the meal program to include weekends and added other direct services for the guests. We now average about 150 meals an evening. Many volunteers work together to ECHO the call of the Gospel today by reaching out to the poor and homeless in our community. To continue the success of all our programs, ECHO depends on your support, prayers, donations and volunteer efforts. PLEASE CALL THE ECHO OFFICE @ (859) 261- 5857 IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER |
