Ribbon Cutting at ECHO

Description

ECHO of Brandon will partner with local Chambers of Commerce to celebrate 30 years of service to residents of Hillsborough County. Representatives will start off the festivities with a Ribbon Cutting for ECHO's recent, extensive renovations donated by Hillsborough County. Vince Ferraro, 30-year volunteer and former board member, will be honored for his exemplary service.

The fun will then commence, as attendees in groups of 5 are taken on a fast-paced excursion through ECHO to experience "how their donations ECHO through our community." They will hear directly from people who have been blessed by ECHO and from volunteers that represent the 150+ volunteer workforce that runs the ECHO operation.

Additional parking will be provided at well-marked locations and Sheriff Deputies will be on hand to assist with traffic. Come and learn about ECHO's new programs and the many resources offered to help clients become self-sufficient. There will be music and refreshments to add to the festivities.
