The Elmhurst Corona Resource Collaborative (ECRC) consists of twenty-five local organizations working together to support our community. We partner with each other and with community members to ensure that families have access to food; resources for jobs and financial security; pathways for community-anchored health and healing programs; and shared educational and cultural experiences.  The ECRC was established in May 2020 to meet the needs of the Elmhurst and Corona communities during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. We came together to marshal our collective resources to help families and neighbors heal and rebuild. Now we continue to combine our efforts to positively impact our community over the long-term.  

Through this network, several cultural institutions have been operating as food distribution centers. Others are working with the Department of Education’s remote learning platforms to ensure students are connected to the classroom, offering mental health services, immigrants’ rights assistance, and other essential support. Organizations participating in the ECRC have distributed hundreds of thousands of meals to families in the community.
