Hygiene Support
When the ECHOS Emergency Shelter is closed for the season, we offer hygiene support days for our clients. On Fridays, this includes a shower, laundry services, and a packed lunch. On Mondays, clients are only able to shower. This allows our clients to have access to personal hygiene care outside of our shelter season.
Hygiene support services are currently closed. If you or someone you know is in need of shelter services an intake can be scheduled for the ECHOS Emergency Shelter online or by calling the Front Desk at (717) 361-0740.
