Our Services

ECCO stands for Elbert County Coalition Outreach. There are many ways ECCO is funded, and many beneficiaries of ECCO’s resources.

Anyone in a crisis situation qualifies for ECCO’s help. On a day to day basis, ECCO assists residents in a number of ways. A portion of the sales received from the thrift store provides ECCO with retail income that further helps the community.

Local business and community support is a huge part of ECCO’s success! ECCO can accomplish great things when partnering with local businesses and receiving community support whether it’s from receiving donated merchandise for the storefront, word of mouth and social media to promote ECCO or local volunteers helping with various events and community fundraisers.

How do funds get dispersed? ECCO takes a financial assistance request form to determine specific needs. Then, ECCO’s director decides where funds are disbursed.

Interested in volunteering for one or more of ECCO’s community projects? Interested in donating or setting up an ECCO fundraiser through your company? Know someone who needs our assistance and is afraid to ask? Contact us by phone or stop by the store to find out more!
