| Desc | ECCO HAS CONTINUED ITS EMPHASIS ON A CLIENT-CENTERED MODEL IN OUR WORK TO PROVIDE WRAP-AROUND SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN FINANCIAL DISTRESS. THIS APPROACH DID NOT CHANGE EVEN AS THE ORGANIZATION PIVOTED TO RESPOND TO THE HEALTH AND FINANCIAL CRISIS CAUSED BY THE CORONAVIRUS. OPERATING AS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE, ECCO REMAINED OPEN TO SERVE THE GROWING NUMBERS OF OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED PLEDGING TO DO ALL WE CAN, FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN, TO HELP AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN. BORN IN THE WAKE OF HURRICANE HUGO, ECCO WAS DESIGNED TO RESPOND TO CRISIS SITUATIONS WHEN LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ARE FACING THE BARRIERS OF SITUATIONAL POVERTY - AND MOST OF THEM HAVE NEVER HAD TO ASK FOR HELP BEFORE. ECCO'S PURPOSE IS TO RECOGNIZE THAT EACH CLIENT WE SERVE HAS AN INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE WITH POVERTY, TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY ARE WITH COMPASSION AND EFFICIENCY, AND TO HELP THEM RECOVER, MANAGE, OR BEGIN AGAIN. ECCO IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED IN THE AREA AS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN EAST COOPER, AND ONE OF ONLY A FEW AGENCIES IN THE GREATER CHARLESTON REGION THAT PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE WRAP-AROUND SUPPORT SERVICES AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. WITH ECCO'S HOLISTIC APPROACH, WE ARE CONSIDERED A "ONE-STOP SHOP" FOR STRUGGLING FAMILIES TO GET HELP FILLING A WIDE RANGE OF INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN HELPING TO CHANGE THE LIVES OF OUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE FACING LIFE'S CHALLENGES BY PROVIDING BOTH HELP AND HOPE. ADDITIONALLY, ECCO IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN THE LOWCOUNTRY TO OFFER AN ASSET DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (ADP) FOR ADULTS. ADP IS A PERSONAL SAVINGS INITIATIVE DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE ASSET-GROWTH AMONG LOW-WEALTH INDIVIDUALS, WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE UP TO 3,000 OF MATCHED FUNDS TO BUY A HOME, START OR IMPROVE A SMALL BUSINESS, OR PURSUE POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION. ECCO UNDERSTANDS THAT OUR ABILITY TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY IS ONLY POSSIBLE THROUGH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY. AS THE COUNTRY WENT INTO A SHUTDOWN DUE TO COVID-19, OUR COMMUNITY STEPPED-UP IN EXTRAORDINARY WAYS TO SUPPORT ECCO'S MISSION. FROM THE 8-YEAR OLD WHO SOLD HIS ROCK COLLECTION DOOR-TO-DOOR TO RAISE MONEY FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS TO THE ECCO CLIENT WHO CAME BACK THROUGH THE DRIVE-THRU FOOD DISTRIBUTION LINE TO GIVE HER LAST DOLLAR AS AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE FOR THE FOOD SHE HAD JUST RECEIVED, ECCO WAS THE RECIPIENT OF INCREDIBLY GENEROSITY IN FY20, ESPECIALLY IN RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC. THE IN-KIND DONATIONS OF FOOD HELPED TO ENSURE WE COULD SUPPORT TWICE AS MANY PEOPLE IN FULFILLING THEIR MOST BASIC NEED. THE OUTPOURING OF FINANCIAL DONATIONS HAVE ALLOWED US TO ASSIST SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LOCAL FAMILIES - MANY WHO WORK IN CHARLESTON'S FOOD & BEVERAGE AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRIES - FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME IN PAYING THEIR RENT/MORTGAGE OR UTILITY BILLS. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE 1,944 DONATIONS RECEIVED IN FY20 FROM 1,035 DONORS (INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, FOUNDATIONS, CHURCHES, AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS) - 566 WHO WERE FIRST-TIME DONORS - WHICH HAVE ALLOWED US TO SUPPORT PEOPLE IN A TIME OF GREATER NEED AND INCREASED UNCERTAINTY. THE SURPLUS FUNDS RAISED IN THIS FISCAL YEAR WILL BE USED TO ENSURE ECCO CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR CLIENTS AND LOCAL FAMILIES IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC FOR THE LONG-HAUL AS WELL AS TO OPERATE AS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH AN EYE ON THE FUTURE. IMPACT NUMBERS FOR FY 2019-2020: -SERVED 2,186 HOUSEHOLDS ACROSS ALL PROGRAMMATIC AREAS; THESE HOUSEHOLDS ACCOUNT FOR AT LEAST 3,438 NEIGHBORS IN NEED HOWEVER THIS NUMBER COULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. INCOMPLETE DATA IS AVAILABLE FOR 381 INDIVIDUALS WHO RECEIVED FOOD THROUGH ECCO'S DRIVE-THRU DISTRIBUTION BUT HAD NOT HAD A CLIENT ASSESSMENT DUE TO OUR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS. -DISTRIBUTED 628,836 POUNDS OF FOOD TO 2,110 LOCAL FAMILIES FACING FOOD INSECURITY; A RETAIL VALUE OF 979,241. THESE FIGURES DO NOT INCLUDE THE MONTHLY FARMERS MARKETS WHICH EXPANDED TO THREE POP-UP LOCATIONS IN APRIL, INCLUDING TWO RURAL COMMUNITIES THAT ARE CONSIDERED FOOD DESERTS. -CONDUCTED MONTHLY FRESH & FREE FARMERS MARKETS TO PROVIDE FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES TO OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED; 20% OF ALL FOOD DISTRIBUTED TO OUR CLIENTS IS MADE UP OF FRESH PRODUCE. 18 TOTAL MARKETS WERE HELD IN FY2019 -2020. -PROVIDED 568 HOUSEHOLDS WITH A THANKSGIVING MEAL AND 364 CHILDREN WITH CHRISTMAS PRESENTS THROUGH ECCO'S ADOPT-A-FAMILY PROGRAM.

| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | ECCO HAS CONTINUED ITS EMPHASIS ON A CLIENT-CENTERED MODEL IN OUR WORK TO PROVIDE WRAP-AROUND SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN FINANCIAL DISTRESS. THIS APPROACH DID NOT CHANGE EVEN AS THE ORGANIZATION PIVOTED TO RESPOND TO THE HEALTH AND FINANCIAL CRISIS CAUSED BY THE CORONAVIRUS. OPERATING AS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE, ECCO REMAINED OPEN TO SERVE THE GROWING NUMBERS OF OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED PLEDGING TO DO ALL WE CAN, FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN, TO HELP AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN. BORN IN THE WAKE OF HURRICANE HUGO, ECCO WAS DESIGNED TO RESPOND TO CRISIS SITUATIONS WHEN LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ARE FACING THE BARRIERS OF SITUATIONAL POVERTY - AND MOST OF THEM HAVE NEVER HAD TO ASK FOR HELP BEFORE. ECCO'S PURPOSE IS TO RECOGNIZE THAT EACH CLIENT WE SERVE HAS AN INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE WITH POVERTY, TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY ARE WITH COMPASSION AND EFFICIENCY, AND TO HELP THEM RECOVER, MANAGE, OR BEGIN AGAIN. ECCO IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED IN THE AREA AS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN EAST COOPER, AND ONE OF ONLY A FEW AGENCIES IN THE GREATER CHARLESTON REGION THAT PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE WRAP-AROUND SUPPORT SERVICES AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. WITH ECCO'S HOLISTIC APPROACH, WE ARE CONSIDERED A "ONE-STOP SHOP" FOR STRUGGLING FAMILIES TO GET HELP FILLING A WIDE RANGE OF INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN HELPING TO CHANGE THE LIVES OF OUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE FACING LIFE'S CHALLENGES BY PROVIDING BOTH HELP AND HOPE. ADDITIONALLY, ECCO IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN THE LOWCOUNTRY TO OFFER AN ASSET DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (ADP) FOR ADULTS. ADP IS A PERSONAL SAVINGS INITIATIVE DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE ASSET-GROWTH AMONG LOW-WEALTH INDIVIDUALS, WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE UP TO 3,000 OF MATCHED FUNDS TO BUY A HOME, START OR IMPROVE A SMALL BUSINESS, OR PURSUE POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION. ECCO UNDERSTANDS THAT OUR ABILITY TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY IS ONLY POSSIBLE THROUGH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY. AS THE COUNTRY WENT INTO A SHUTDOWN DUE TO COVID-19, OUR COMMUNITY STEPPED-UP IN EXTRAORDINARY WAYS TO SUPPORT ECCO'S MISSION. FROM THE 8-YEAR OLD WHO SOLD HIS ROCK COLLECTION DOOR-TO-DOOR TO RAISE MONEY FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS TO THE ECCO CLIENT WHO CAME BACK THROUGH THE DRIVE-THRU FOOD DISTRIBUTION LINE TO GIVE HER LAST DOLLAR AS AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE FOR THE FOOD SHE HAD JUST RECEIVED, ECCO WAS THE RECIPIENT OF INCREDIBLY GENEROSITY IN FY20, ESPECIALLY IN RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC. THE IN-KIND DONATIONS OF FOOD HELPED TO ENSURE WE COULD SUPPORT TWICE AS MANY PEOPLE IN FULFILLING THEIR MOST BASIC NEED. THE OUTPOURING OF FINANCIAL DONATIONS HAVE ALLOWED US TO ASSIST SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LOCAL FAMILIES - MANY WHO WORK IN CHARLESTON'S FOOD & BEVERAGE AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRIES - FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME IN PAYING THEIR RENT/MORTGAGE OR UTILITY BILLS. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE 1,944 DONATIONS RECEIVED IN FY20 FROM 1,035 DONORS (INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, FOUNDATIONS, CHURCHES, AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS) - 566 WHO WERE FIRST-TIME DONORS - WHICH HAVE ALLOWED US TO SUPPORT PEOPLE IN A TIME OF GREATER NEED AND INCREASED UNCERTAINTY. THE SURPLUS FUNDS RAISED IN THIS FISCAL YEAR WILL BE USED TO ENSURE ECCO CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR CLIENTS AND LOCAL FAMILIES IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC FOR THE LONG-HAUL AS WELL AS TO OPERATE AS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH AN EYE ON THE FUTURE.
