ESS connects people to essential resources and empowers them to move toward stability, independence, and a better tomorrow.
These numbers represent more than just data — they reflect real people, real stories, and real support. Together, we're building stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.
Through the app and partner programs.
Food, shelter, healthcare, employment, hygiene and more.
Supporting individuals and families in need.
Providing essential services and resources.
Connecting people to help, faster.
Serving communities across the region.
ESS started with a simple but powerful idea: resources exist, but many people don’t know where to find them or how to access them. We created the ESS app and website to change that — connecting those in need with the people and organizations that can help.
What began as a local initiative is now a growing movement, with a vision to reach more communities and make sure no one is left behind.
The ESS app puts local resources and support at your fingertips. Whether you need a meal, a safe place to stay, or help with your next steps, the app helps you find what you need — quickly and easily.
