Noticing how unexpected circumstances made it temporarily impossible for families to make ends meet, she decided it was time to lend a helping hand.
[2] EIS has made it a mission to find partners in the Tulsa community to help support some of the long-term services clients need in addition to the short-term.
Eighty-five percent of those who use EIS’ services are the working poor: people struggling to make ends meet and occasionally needing "a hand up".
Immediate and free services are provided for diapers & pull-ups, infant formula, children's & maternity clothing, medications, hygiene items, linens, cribs, and child safety seats.
In 2011, EIS provided food, clothing, medical assistance, furniture, car seats, and social services to over 8,235 families with 13,723 infant children.
