ECHO and KYCC Receive Pandemic Relief Match Grants

11/19/2021

Pacific Premier Bank prioritizes giving back to our communities and supporting local organizations, particularly those who have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are honored that the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLBankSF) has accepted our pandemic-relief grant match request for two of our outstanding nonprofit partners, El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO) and Koreatown Youth Community Center (KYCC). FHLBankSF will match a portion of the Bank’s donations, providing $12,500 in additional grant support for both ECHO and KYCC.

ECHO is a nonprofit organization serving San Luis Obispo County, focused on providing food, shelter, and supportive services, such as workforce development, job placement, and case management, for low-income individuals and families who are facing hunger and homelessness. Due to high housing costs and the pandemic, ECHO has experienced an increased need for their services.

KYCC is a nonprofit organization serving recently immigrated, and economically disadvantaged youth and families living in Koreatown, Central Los Angeles, and its surrounding neighborhoods. KYCC provides a full spectrum of services in the areas of education, health, housing, and finances in order to build economic stability for low-income residents, many of whom have been disproportionally impacted by the pandemic.

The additional funding from FHLBank San Francisco will help make a meaningful difference within these communities and is one example of how they partner with member banks to build stronger communities, create opportunity, and change lives for the better.
