Established by Christ Our King Church for the purpose of providing temporart relief to victims of Hurricane Hugo, ECCO now serves as a permanant community resource to offer on-going assistance with basic necessities. Services offered include assistance with groceries, clothing and household goods. Financial aid is available for rent, utilities and prescriptions. The ECCO dental clinic is open two evenings a week to provide free emergency dental care to eligable patients. Volunteers assist in every phase of ECCO operations.
Dentists donate their time and skills in our dental clinic.
Other volunteers give their hearts and hands to assist with client screening, shelving and bagging food, follow-up visits to clients and office assistance. The guiding spirit at ECCO is one of neighbors helping neighbors. The backbone of the ministry is the area churches where denominations are immaterial and people are served in a harmonious Christian effort. For further information, contact Penny Todd, Director, or speak with a staff member at 849-9220 or visit ECCO at 870 N Lansing Drive, Mt. Pleasant. The Society serves everyone, regardless of creed, opinion, color, origin or caste.
