History:
Organization and Structure
The Elliott County Christian Community Center was established in October 1996. It is a branch office of Christian Social Services in Morehead, Kentucky. In November of 1997 the center moved into a building in downtown Sandy Hook, Kentucky at the intersection of Hunter and Sycamore where we currently are still located. The Elliott County Christian Community Center was established due to the overwhelming need in the county and the lack of transportation to Christian Social Services. Before the establishment of the Elliott County Christian Community Center, the only place Elliott County residents could receive assistance was at the Morehead Center, a thrity-mile drive.
The Elliott County Christian Community Center is a non-profit organization that is governed by the board of directors of Christian Social Services. The Elliott County Christian Community Center is currently staffed by the coordinator, one part-time person and volunteers. The center is dedicated to providing services that meet the basic needs of the residents of Elliott County while promoting their confidence, self-esteem and self-sufficiency. The Elliott County Christian Community Center was built on a solid foundation of financial donations, experienced staff, and the reputation of Christian Social Services. Already ECCCC has established its own reputation as a dependable, open and productive ministry.
We recognize the need of the people in Elliott County for food, clothing, shelter and medical assistance. We offer services that demonstrate self-determination and self-worth. Our primary concern and responsibility is to the individuals and the community we serve. We believe in serving these people with devotion, loyalty, determination, compassion and a deep sense of commitment.
What We Do
The goal of the Elliott County Christian Community Center is to help families become self-sufficient. We work with families in a case-by-case manner. Our underlying goal is that families leave ECCCC with a sense of hope about their situation, knowing that someone cares and is willing to offer support, but also knowing that they have the power and resources to work toward self-sufficiency.
