KidVantage, formerly “Eastside Baby Corner West Sound” supports kids and families in our community through a network of agency service partners. Our services can be accessed by partner providers and families at sites in the region through public health nurses, early learning centers, immigrant & refugee assistance organizations, schools, and social service agencies. KidVantage in West Sound provides tangible goods that children, birth through age 5, need to grow, play, and learn.
We are supported by YOU…through your donations of gently-used or new items, time and treasure.
