CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) -East Cooper Community Outreach in Mount Pleasant is launching a new program to help better serve the community through its wellness food pantry.
Over the last year, the outreach organization says they have seen a rise in both first-time and returning clients asking for help. They say they are implementing a new online food ordering system called SmartChoice, to reach more people.
