All contributions – big or small – make a difference
With over 41 years of community service, Eastside Family Place has facilitated the healthy development of thousands of families and multiple generations. But we need support to continue our work and to be successful.
From parents who volunteer simple tasks, such as sweeping the floor or loading the dishwasher, to our generous donors and sponsors, all contributions – big or small – are important and integral to Eastside Family Place. When Eastside Family Place is supported we can devote our time and energy to our work: facilitating the healthy development of young children, parents and caregivers.
Each contribution to Eastside Family Place spreads through the community and is, in fact, an investment with unlimited growth and huge potential dividends.
Please help us facilitate the healthy development of children, families, and our future. There are many ways to give to Eastside Family Place.

I really love their saying: take what you need and give what you can. It really is a microcosm of what we want the world to be and it is happening in a tiny little place with children and families – and it’s great.”
