Ebenezer Community and Cultural Center

Mission: To work collaboratively with other groups and organizations to solve problems, to remove barriers to resources, to promote economic empowerment and to reduce the negative impact of poverty and racial inequity within the community.

Ebenezer Community and Cultural Center (ECCC) is a 501c-3 non-profit, faith-based, human service organization. Ebenezer Community and Cultural Center (EC3) was founded by a group of human service professionals, all of whom were members of the Ebenezer A.M.E. Church. These women and men, guided by their faith and belief in the dignity and inherent rights of all people, set out to provide community outreach services designed to be a source of help during times of trouble, to provide services to strengthen, preserve and prevent the separation of families and to offer activities for youth that build assets and resilience within youth growing up in poverty.

Ebenezer Community and Cultural Center (EC-3) provides a range of services that aim to restore hope and reduce the negative impact of poverty in the lives of underserved residents in Urban Detroit communities. Core services include: Family & Community Outreach Services, Information and Resource Referrals, Emergency Food Assistance, the “Stone of Hope” Clothes Closet, Life Long Learning Groups, an After School Reading Program, Youth Sports & Recreation, and a Summer Day Camp. Volunteers are vital to our overall operations.
