Access to nutritious food is essential to the health and well-being of every family. When household budgets are stretched, however, groceries can become one more difficult choice among rent, utilities, healthcare, and other necessities.
ECHOS helps ease that burden by providing H-E-B food-only gift cards to eligible individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Rather than receiving a pre-selected box of food, clients can shop for the groceries that best meet their household’s nutritional, cultural, and dietary needs.
Our food-only gift card model gives families the flexibility to shop at H-E-B and select fresh produce, meat, dairy, pantry staples, and other foods that work best for them. It is a simple approach that provides immediate help while preserving the independence and dignity of the people we serve.
