About us
Community Involvement
While ECCA's core mission is helping organizations, our commitment doesn't end there. Since our founding, we have dedicated ourselves to trying to make our little spot in the universe a better place.
Community Outreach
In 2025, ECCA celebrated their 50th anniversary. That year, ECCA also just so happened to be open 50 Fridays. To celebrate our company's golden anniversary, ECCA and its dedicated staff committed to performing 50 goodwill gestures on each of those Fridays in their Fifty Fridays initiative.
As a lasting legacy to that initiative, ECCA gives each employee Community Outreach hours. This is paid time that an employee can use to volunteer at a non-profit or support their community at large in a meaningful way.
Center for Family Business
ECCA is a proud member of the Penn State Behrend Center for Family Business.
The center formed to educate family businesses on topics such as succession planning and legacy transition, leadership development, strategic planning, other aspects key to the success of family-owned businesses.
Doug Starr, president of ECCA, is a member of the center's advisory board.
United Way Community Schools
Through United Way of Erie County’s Community School Model, Grover Cleveland Elementary is more than a place for academics! It’s a hub where school staff and community partners work together to remove non-academic barriers to learning, expand enrichment opportunities, strengthen family engagement, and connect students to the supports they need to succeed.
As a proud member of Grover Cleveland’s Corporate Partner Coalition, ECCA helps fuel this work through hands-on volunteerism and targeted resource support that strengthens school culture and helps students show up ready to learn. Together, we’re helping build a stronger school community where families feel connected, students feel supported, and opportunities continue to grow.
