The Echo Shop has been providing outreach in Santa Clara County for 60 years.
In 2019-20, The Echo Shop provided funding for grants to local community service organizations in the amount of $75,000. All profits from the Echo Shop are distributed to charities who apply for grants. These proceeds were made possible by generous donations of goods from the community and by the diligent volunteer efforts of our workers.
Some of the agencies that benefit from our grants are shown below:
