Ways to Get Involved

 

At EBAC, community care is more than a value — it’s a daily practice. Every day, our team supports children, teens, and families navigating trauma, food insecurity, housing instability, mental health challenges, and the rising cost of living. You can be part of this work. Whether you give time, host a drive, make a donation, or bring your workplace into the effort, your involvement helps ensure that no child or caregiver has to navigate hardship alone.

 

Host a Drive or Donation Campaign

A powerful way to involve families, schools, faith communities, neighborhoods, and workplaces.

Healthy Snack Drives: SNAP cuts and school budget reductions mean many children are going without snacks during the day. You can help EBAC fill the gap by collecting:

• Granola bars
• Fruit cups
• Applesauce Crackers
• Trail mix
• Shelf-stable protein snacks

 

Family Essentials Drives: Our Family Resource Centers (FRCs) distribute hundreds of essential items each month. High-need items include:

• Diapers (all sizes)
• Wipes + hygiene supplies
• Shelf-stable pantry staples
• Laundry detergent
• New socks and underwear

 

Use our Amazon Wish List to make collecting items easy.

We Make Hosting Easy: We provide flyers, wish lists, collection tips, and drop-off instructions so your drive makes the greatest impact. To set up a drive, please reach out to Trina.Lipscomb@ebac.org.

 

Engage Your Workplace

Mobilize your colleagues to support youth mental health and family stability. To learn more about these opportunities, and build new ones, please reach out to Trina.Lipscomb@ebac.org.

• Corporate Volunteer Days: Bring your team to an FRC or event for a meaningful, hands-on service experience.
• Employee Giving + Matching Gifts: Encourage employees to support EBAC through payroll giving or a workplace matching program.
• Lunch + Learn Sessions: Invite EBAC staff to share about trauma-informed care, youth mental health, or family support services.

 

Personal Fundraiser

Think creatively about ways to support EBAC

• Dedicate your birthday to EBAC and ask friends and family to donate to EBAC (EBAC.org/donate) instead of giving gifts.
• Set-up a fundraiser on Facebook or Instagram to benefit EBAC.
• Raise money for running a 5K or cycling in an organized race.

 

Monthly Giving

Establishing an automatic monthly donation to EBAC is a Win-Win! You can support EBAC without having to remember to write a check, go online to donate, or respond to email or print mail appeals. EBAC wins by receiving more consistent funding to continue our vital programs and services.

Setting up a monthly donation is easy. Simply click here, enter the amount you would like to donate each month and select the “monthly” frequency option. By completing this process just once, you will provide EBAC with necessary ongoing funding. You can edit, pause, or end your monthly donation at any time.
