The Elmhurst Children’s Assistance Foundation is a 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit organization established in 1993. Our mission is to
assist families with children in our community where a family member
is facing a life threatening or disabling condition.
Over the years, ECAF has been a source of
financial aid and guidance for families suddenly torn apart as they
face every parent’s worst nightmare. In addition to direct financial
assistance, we have been successful in negotiating reductions of rent,
utility and hospitals bills on behalf of families in need. We also
serve as a source of information about other agencies and
organizations that may be able to provide assistance.
Over the years we have grown and expanded
our goals and fundraising efforts so that we can assist families who
reside in Elmhurst or families with parents working in Elmhurst. We
have also found that if a parent is in need, then so is the child. Our
biggest goal is to make sure those in need are aware of ECAF and our
services. No request is to small or to big if you are in need! All
names and information provided from families in need are held
confidential with ECAF.
ECAF has never been stronger or more
committed to its mission as it continues to be another outstanding
example of why Elmhurst is a very special place for families to live!
