East Harris County Empowerment Council is an organization that truly makes an impact in our community. I have volunteered on numerous occasions and have been the recipient of their assistance; their willingness to help the community in time of need rings true. Whether through disaster relief, leadership programs or community drives, EHCEC is a great place to get help and to volunteer. I highly recommend their services and their leadership in our community!

I volunteered for the first time this past Friday, I felt very welcomed and motivated by the staff and other volunteers to be there. Highly recommend using EHCEC if you're looking to volunteer in the community.
