While summer brings joy and relaxation for many families, it can be a difficult time for others. When school’s out, so are school meals — leaving many kids unsure of where their next meal will come from.

That’s why East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO) launched the “Hunger Doesn’t Vacation” campaign. The goal? To keep food pantry shelves stocked and ensure the 750+ local kids ECCO serves has access to nutritious meals all summer long.

Here’s how you can help:

  1. Make a donation — just $25 provides a week of groceries for one child.
  2. Host a food drive at your business, church, or in your neighborhood. Psst… ECCO will provide everything you need to get started (think: flyers, social media graphics, and more).

Whether someone needs one-time food assistance or ongoing support, ECCO provides the essential resources local neighbors need to overcome life’s challenges.
