Since its establishment in 1989, ECCO takes pride in the thousands of clients it has served in our community.
ECCO Mission Statement:
East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO) is an ecumenical organization dedicated to helping our neighbors in need and providing emergency disaster relief. ECCO serves residents mainly in the area east of the Cooper River and south of the Santee Basin but also serves the entire tri-county area (Berkeley, Charleston, Dorchester) through cooperation with other organizations and agencies.
ECCO provides emergency assistance for food, clothing, household furnishings, and financial needs. As well as, ongoing services including medical, dental, prescription drug assistance, education and counseling.
All programs and services strive to guide clients toward self-sufficiency. ECCO's ministry of "Neighbors Helping Neighbors" attempts to improve the quality of life in our community in a compassionate way that respects the dignity and worth of every person.
