For the past 30 years, Emergency Infant Services has partnered with generous Tulsans to "close the gap" between what children in poverty may need and what their parents can provide alone.  We are asking you to consider closing the gap once again but for a different reason.  This year EIS embarked on a capital campaign.  We purchased an existing facility, so time was of the essence.  We are happy to report that we are in our new facility, and have risen over 80% of the $550,000 purchase price.  Thank you to all of you whose donations made this happen!  Our primary goal was to raise this money without eroding support for client services, and we have been able to do just that.  It is our goal to have the building paid off by this summer, so that we may devote our time and resources solely to our primary mission: serving Tulsa's children.

The new facility is bright cheerful and provides the needed space and parking to better serve our client families.  It has a safer approach for moms with infants and toddlers in tow.  The dramatic increase in storage has allowed us to be much more efficient stewards of our donated resources.  We have received generous large scale donations, purchased large lots of discounted diapers and secured a very significant discount on cribs by ordering in bulk thanks to the enhanced storage. 

We are asking you to consider "closing the gap" with EIS once again,  this time by helping us pay the remaining $106,000 balance on the building.  Every dollar makes a difference.  If you would like information on naming a room in the new building to honor someone you love, please call our development director, Mary Ellen Evans Opstein.  Thank you for your help, and please come see us soon at the new facility.
