Organizations Filed Purposes: EBC -Eastside Baby Corner provides health, safety, nutritional and comfort items for all babies and children in need, birth through age 12, who are living within our area of operations and are currently being served by a social service, educational, or health organization in our network. Providing children the right ingredients for healthy development - emphasizing protective factors that can counterbalance the effects of adversity- from the start produces better outcomes than trying to fix problems later. With reduced risk from stress, and increased protective factors kids are healthier, safer, and at reduced risk for neglect or abuse. For 30 years, we've used our expertise to supply formula, diapers, food, clothing, car seats, beds, school supplies, and more to keep kids nourished, secure and healthy, at no cost to families or to agency partners. Our strength comes from deep community participation, through volunteering, donating goods and social connections.

EBC- Eastside Baby Corner's mission is helping kids reach their full potential tomorrow by meeting basic needs today. We provide tangible assistance at no cost to struggling families, reducing the distress felt by children and their parents. Through partnerships with more than 50 human service organizations, schools, and health providers, more than 9,000 children are helped annually. Kids have the stress of living in poverty reduced, their healthy development promoted, and they are better prepared for success in school. Partner agencies can concentrate their resources and expertise on supporting families, increasing their opportunities for success. At EBC, members of the community connect with each other while caring for their neighbors. They donate goods, volunteer, or give financial support to make sure kids are getting what they need when they need it. What EBC does reduces the community and societal inequities that prevent children from flourishing.

EBC - Eastside Baby Corner provides basic health, safety, nutritional and comfort items for babies and children (birth through age 12), and expectant mothers, who are living within our area of operations and are currently participating in a program within our network of agency partners. In service to our mission and strategic directions, EBC supported 54 active agency partners in 2019, including early learning centers, food banks, housing, maternal & infant health programs, medical services, and schools. The tangible assistance provided by EBC means kids have their nutrition, health, safety, and development needs met, promoting and protecting developing minds and bodies. At no cost to families or to our agency partners, we supply formula, diapers, hygiene items, clothing, car seats, beds, school supplies, and more. Eastside Baby Corner is the community's acknowledged expert in recycling, buying, and distributing essential goods for children experiencing poverty, homelessness, or family disruption. EBC takes in donations of children's clothing and goods from the community at the Central (Issaquah), West Sound, and Northshore Hubs; and purchases essential goods, including baby food, formula, car seats, pack n' play beds, and diapers. All items are then sorted and bundled into customized orders by staff or volunteers and distributed through partner-providers such as case managers, public health nurses, and school counselors to families in their programs. Through this network of programs, over 1,500 children (unduplicated) each month get the essentials they need for healthy development.
