WHAT DOES THE "EVERY CHILD MATTERS" PROGRAM DO?

• We identify the needs of hurting children and families in your community to your attention. 
• The need may be identified by a church, social service agency or individual.
• A request is made on behalf or a child and/or family to fill the need.
• ECM! verifies the need(s) of the hurting children and families being referred to our program.
• The request is made known to the faith community in the affected child/family’s geographical area.
• Responses are made by the faith community collectively or by individual churches and/or individuals.
• We build a network of support, uniting congregations and communities to support the children and families
