SUPPORTING THOSE IN NEED

Pickleball Charleston is thrilled to present the return of The Big Dill! The second annual charity tournament at The Pickle Bar on October 25th, benefitting East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO). For more information and registration please go here >

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 with three main service areas: Assistance, Guidance, and Resources. Over two thousand families receive help through ECCO’s Wellness Pantry, Financial Assistance, Dental & Medical Clinics, Prescription Assistance, Clothing Closet, Asset Development Program, and more each year. Enhanced through personal interactions with staff who provide individualized support and coaching for each client, ECCO meets each client where they are and helps them navigate the challenges they are facing with care and compassion. ECCO is also a place where people who want to help their neighbors in need can find meaningful ways to share their time, talent, and treasure. Over three hundred local neighbors give their time, volunteering at ECCO’s main campus and clothing closet. For more information about how to receive help or give help, visit www.eccocharleston.org.
