About Eastside Baby Corner:
Eastside Baby Corner helps kids thrive by providing basic necessities for children so that EBC’s partners—schools, social service agencies, food banks, hospitals–can help families become stable, safe, housed, fed and employed. Relying almost exclusively on volunteers, EBC takes in donations of children’s clothing and goods from the community, supplements the donations with purchases of baby food, formula, car seat and diapers, and annually distributes nearly over $4,500,000 worth of goods for kids from birth to age 12 directly to nearly every agency serving families in greater east King County. Founded by pediatric nurse practitioner, Karen Ridlon in 1990, EBC helps more than 500 children each week
