The enduring work of ECS reflects a persistent and profound need in our communities. We are deeply grateful for our committed partners and contributors, whose unwavering support rises to meet every challenge.
As ECS begins its 155th year of service, we recognize that for every life we transform, there is another person awaiting our guidance and care. Each new year brings fresh challenges, and our resilience and determination drive us forward. We embrace change, confront obstacles head-on, and steadfastly continue our mission.
The “we” I use is a term of broad inclusion. We are participants, and we are donors. We are partners, and we are neighbors. And we are all bound by our humanity and desire to ensure that the pathway to prosperity is clear of all too real and yet unnecessary obstacles.
Let’s ring in the new year for community, impact, justice, and dignity – our clarion ECS values. I am looking forward to our work together as we begin 2025.
