Latest News Laptops for Little Ones Collection Drive EBC and Seattle’s Friendly Earth are joining forces once again to host a laptop recycle and reuse drive. Laptops for Little Ones will be held throughout April – Earth Month - because reusing and recycling laptops keeps them out of the landfill – helping kids and the earth at the same time. What items will be accepted? Laptops in any condition. Because of portability, laptops are generally the most useful for children in often-challenging living situations. We are also happy to take the bag or case you use to store it, and please include the power cord if possible.
Where can I drop off my laptop? Collection times and locations for Eastside Baby Corner can be found at www. babycorner.org For drop off times at Friendly Earth, please contact Andrew Shute at andrews@friendlyearth.org. Spring Cleaning with Meaning It’s time for that annual ritual of mucking through the closets to unearth and purge the ‘stuff’ that hasn’t seen the light of day in years. While a lightened load is a reward in itself, you can make this year’s spring cleaning even more gratifying by giving that stuff to someone who can use it – often in a life changing way. At Eastside Baby Corner we are happy to take all of your unneeded kid stuff. We know a few hundred kids in our community who can use it while their families focus their resources on pulling themselves out of poverty or crisis.
