SOL partners with East Cooper Community Outreach through end of the year

Starting this Wednesday, November 16 through the end of the year, SOL Southwest Kitchen & Tequila Bar will be partnering with local charity organization East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO) to raise money through the restaurant’s Kitchen Karma program. ECCO strives to eliminate poverty in the East Cooper region by offering basic needs, health services and empowerment programs. The funds raised through Kitchen Karma will help ECCO to provide local families with emergency support for food, clothing, and financial assistance, along with ongoing  access to dental care, medical care and educational opportunities.

“At SOL, we are passionate about helping others, especially the people in our own community,” said David Clark, owner of SOL. “We’re looking forward to providing our neighbors with resources to achieve a better quality of life for themselves and their families.”

Through its Kitchen Karma program, SOL partners with a local charity organization for a period of about six to eight weeks, and donates $1 from every featured Kitchen Karma menu item sold in that time period to the partnering charity. The featured items for the ECCO partnership include the Cranberry Spice Margarita and the Steak Skewers.

Before working with ECCO, SOL’s most recent Kitchen Karma partnership was with MUSC Hollings Cancer Center to help fund breast cancer research. Over the six-week period, SOL raised a total of $3,025 for MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, allowing SOL to hit a charity donation milestone of over $30,000 to local charities since opening the restaurant in 2013.
