Helping in the time of COVID-19

The foundation and heart of EBC is and always has been the community...that's YOU.  EBC is paying close attention to the Governor's phased re-opening plans.  Your health and safety are guiding our decisions about volunteering and the acceptance of donated goods.

2x4 For Families

EBC has stayed open during the crisis, providing thousands of orders of essentials for kids every week. By the end of April, our shelves were becoming so empty that we knew we would soon have to say “no” to requests for shoes or books or diapers. We heard from so many of you about your desire to help others.

We took that to heart and on Saturday, May 2nd, you blew us away at our 2x4 for Families Community Collection Event. The 2x4 event was a special opportunity for EBC and Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank (IFCB) to collect much needed items in no-contact, socially distanced, and safely managed drive. We held the donated items for 72+ hours before sorting, and are following best-practice guidelines for handling all the donations from the drive.

During the event EBC and IFCB volunteers greeted 565 cars in 4 hours, receiving tons (literally) of donations. Wow! Thank you!
Your outpouring of good will (and goods!) is powering EBC in this time of rising need.

Let us know how you are doing! Send an email to helenr@babycorner.org to share your thoughts or ask questions about EBC.
