Holiday HelpersSmall ways you can make a BIG impact in the

lives of local children this holiday seasonAt EBC, the holiday season is a time for both celebration and deep reflection. We celebrate you, our amazing donors who gather holiday items so children can have not only the wintertime necessities such as warm coats and blankets, but also those extra special items that make the holidays extraordinary - like a new toy or a fancy dress. We reflect because the holidays are a time when we see requests for our services rise. During these cold winter months, the true magnitude of those in need in our local community becomes more evident. In light of that, the message we hope to share with you this holiday season is your donations truly matter!

Here’s how you can help

The money you give provides the absolute essentials (such as food, formula, diapers, car seats, and portacribs) that we know children need, but community donations cannot cover. No matter how large or small, your donations will help kids thrive. Donate at www.baby-corner.org or call Helen Banks Routon at 425-372-7525.
