CUMAC/ECHO, Inc.

CUMAC’s mission is to fight hunger and its root causes through a holistic, trauma-informed approach that provides groceries and basic necessities to families and individuals in need. We've been serving Paterson and Passaic County for 40 years.

Our largest program is the Marketplace at CUMAC where each month we serve nearly 7,000 guests 5-7 days worth of supplemental food. Our Benefits Enrollments team assists individuals in SNAP, LIHEAP and Medicaid applications to give our guests more access to resources beneficial to them. Our Home Delivery service reaches those who need some assistance but can't get to us due to age or disability. Our Mobile Pantry assists guests in harder to reach municipalities in Paterson, allowing us to outreach further and offer our services to more families.
