E.E.C.M., Inc. was founded in 1970 by congregations who saw needs in the community which they wanted to address and which they felt would require more resources than they could provide if they worked alone. Today E.E.C.M., Inc. celebrates almost 40 years as an interfaith coalition of 49 congregations and institutions, providing a channel through which concerned religious people can live out their faith by helping those in need.
