Connecting for kids, because every child counts
KidVantage, formerly “Eastside Baby Corner” was founded in 1990 by a pediatric nurse practitioner with insight into what kids need for healthy development, and what families need to care for their children. Over the past 31 years, KidVantage has grown to three locations in King and Kitsap counties. KidVantage helps children have what they need to grow, play, learn and thrive by providing essential care, safety, and health goods for children who are experiencing the stresses of economic insecurity, systemic inequities, or family disruption.
Kids, ages birth through 12, get shoes, diapers, formula, blankets, coats, and much more from KidVantage and its service partners. KidVantage also provides for expectant and postpartum mothers, supplying maternity wear, personal care goods, and mother-infant support items. Kids are warm, healthy, safe, and better prepared to fulfill their own potential because of KidVantage.
Helen Banks Routon is the director of development and community relations at KidVantage.
