About East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO)

Founded as an emergency relief effort in 1989 after the devastation from Hurricane Hugo, East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO) has since grown into a permanent resource for the community in need with three main program areas: Basic Needs, Health Services and Empowerment. Thousands of families a year receive emergency assistance for food, clothing, household furnishings, financial aid, and have access to dental care, medical care, prescription assistance, counseling, and educational opportunities like financial literacy classes, computer skills training, job readiness workshops.

About the Lowcountry Food Bank

The Lowcountry Food Bank serves the 10 coastal counties of South Carolina and aims to distribute more than 26 million pounds of food each year. The Carolina's many faces of hunger now include more than 631,300 children, families, and seniors who rely on food assistance each year. According to Hunger in America's 2014 hunger report, even more working families and the elderly are choosing between food and utilities (72%), or food and medical care (75%). It was reported that nearly half of the people we serve are the most vulnerable — children and seniors.
