| FORM 990, PART III | PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A - CONTINUED THE REVISED VISION STATEMENT IS, "A COMMUNITY WHERE ALL PEOPLE CAN DISCOVER A PATH TO OPPORTUNITY." THESE STATEMENTS MOTIVATE THE TEAM TO CHART A CLEAR ACTION PLAN TO HELP SUPPORT THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. WITHOUT ECCO, OVER 3,800 INDIVIDUALS EACH YEAR MAY REMAIN HUNGRY, BE EVICTED, LOSE THEIR UTILITIES, FACE OVERWHELMING HEALTH AND DENTAL ISSUES WITHOUT LIFE-SAVING PRESCRIPTIONS, OR MISS OUT ON THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO WEATHER LIFE'S EMERGENCIES. ECCO'S WORK TO HELP NEIGHBORS DURING THE PANDEMIC IN THE PAST FISCAL YEAR WAS INTENSE. THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN AND THINKING THEY WOULD NEVER NEED THE HELP OF AN ORGANIZATION LIKE ECCO, FAMILIES FOUND THEY DID. VIRTUAL LEARNING FOR CHILDREN, SHIFTS TO VIRTUAL WORK FOR PARENTS OR FURLOUGHS, JOB LOSS, MANAGING ILLNESS, DESPERATE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND THE ANXIETY ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNKNOWN WERE COMMONPLACE. THE ECCO TEAM RESPONDED QUICKLY AND WITH COMPASSION. WE OFFERED ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES TO LOCAL NEIGHBORS FACING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. SERVICES INCLUDE FOOD, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, DENTAL, MEDICAL, MENTAL HEALTH, PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE, ACCESS TO SNAP AND MEDICAID ENROLLMENT, SEASONAL INITIATIVES, EMERGENCY RESPONSE, AND A CLOTHING CLOSET. WE OFFERED GUIDANCE THROUGH THE DIRECTION AND SYSTEM OF SUPPORT PROVIDED BY STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS AS WE WALK WITH CLIENTS ALONG THEIR PATH TO OPPORTUNITY. SERVICES INCLUDE BECOMING AN ECCO CLIENT AND RECEIVING CLIENT NAVIGATION SUPPORT, ACCESS TO WORKSHOPS AND PROGRAMS, AND THE ASSET DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. ADDITIONALLY, ECCO CONNECTED CLIENTS TO A NETWORK OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO MAXIMIZE SUPPORT ON THEIR JOURNEY TOWARDS ACHIEVING PERSONAL FINANCIAL GOALS. THESE RESOURCES INCLUDE EDUCATION AND CAREER READINESS, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REFERRALS AND BENEFITS, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, AND HOME REPAIR. WHEN A PERSON EXPERIENCING CRISIS BECOMES AN ECCO CLIENT, THEY RECEIVE THE SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, EAR, AND ACTION FROM A TEAM OF STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS WHO PULL TOGETHER RESOURCES ON THEIR BEHALF AND PROVIDE THE REASSURANCE THE CLIENT NEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD. CLIENT'S SITUATIONS ARE OFTEN COMPLEX, AND CIRCUMSTANCES CAN STRETCH CLIENTS' RESILIENCY. WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN HELPING TO CHANGE THE LIVES OF OUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE FACING LIFE'S CHALLENGES BY PROVIDING BOTH HELP AND HOPE. ECCO IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED IN THE AREA AS ONE OF ONLY A FEW AGENCIES IN THE GREATER CHARLESTON REGION THAT PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE WRAP-AROUND SUPPORT SERVICES AND PROGRAMS TO LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. ALL OF ECCO'S ESSENTIAL SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO LIVE OR WORK EAST OF THE COOPER RIVER AND MEET ECCO'S INCOME ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES.
