Donating Items to ECHO

Thank you for thinking of ECHO for an item donation. Each facility accepts donations at the below addresses. Please understand that storage space is very limited at each shelter, so we ask that you view the list below before donating items or order directly from our Amazon wish list.
ECHO Atascadero

At the moment, we are limiting our requests for certain types of clothing as we currently have a large surplus of general women’s clothing, as well as only a small number of children staying at the shelter. If you have children’s clothing to donate, please contact the Children’s Resource Network and ask about making a contribution to their Travelling Children’s Closet: 805.709.5404
