Neighborhood Food Drive Challenge
Support East Cooper Community Outreach
Why should we help?
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of food requests ECCO is receiving for emergency food has grown exponentially over the past few months. In the month of May, ECCO distributed 1,144 pre-packaged food orders to 752 local families in need. As a means of comparison, in May of 2019, ECCO served around 350 families with food orders. With demand rising, the need for a larger food supply is critical. ECCO’s Neighborhood Food Drive is challenging local neighborhoods throughout the East Cooper communities to host food drives to help ECCO fill the shelves with its most needed items such as dry pasta, beef stew, canned soup, breakfast items, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you taking other items? We will assign your neighborhood 2-3 items which are most needed, but we will accept other non-perishable, unopened food items along with cleaning supplies (laundry detergent, dish soap, etc) and personal hygiene items (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc). We would also appreciate any paper grocery bags. Can we order online and ship items directly to you? Yes- anyone wishing to donate can shop their favorite retailer online (Walmart, Target, Amazon,etc) and have the items shipped directly to us at: ECCO, 1145 Six Mile Road, Mount Pleasant, SC 29466 Would you rather have a monetary donation? Right now, we really need your help sourcing food to stock the shelves. Due to the pandemic, we are experiencing challenges with our typical food sources. We always appreciate monetary support, but our preference for this initiative is for food donations.
