Essential Pregnancy Services (EPS)
Bri Breazier of Essential Pregnancy Services shares, "When women are facing unexpected or under-supported pregnancies, they often feel overwhelmed and alone. Essential Pregnancy Services (EPS) exists to provide life-affirming, holistic support to these women. Pregnancy education, material assistance, and resource information can inspire women to make informed decisions, choose life for their unborn babies, and receive what they need to build bright futures for themselves and their families."
Essential Pregnancy Services believes it is important to offer their time and resources to assist women, facing the most difficult circumstances, to understand their pregnancies and to learn about all options and help available to them. They are there to support women experiencing unexpected and under-supported pregnancies, and all services are provided at no cost.
"We really appreciate it when community members assist us with material donations. The mothers we serve always need baby clothes, diapers, wipes, baby wash, and more. Material assistance makes such a difference for the comfort and well-being of babies and their mothers, and we need help from the community to keep our boutique stocked with all the essentials. Financial donations also help to fund the boutique and other pregnancy and parenting support services that we provide."

Educare of Omaha, Inc
Dawn Olijnek of Educare of Omaha shares, "The early years matter! During the first few years of a child's life, one million neural connections are formed in the brain every second. Babies' brains are wired to learn as much as possible, and are shaped by inputs from their environments. Donating to nonprofits that support babies is an investment in a child's future!"
Educare of Omaha, Inc. believes everyone deserves a fair chance to achieve their dreams, and it starts by leveling the playing field from the day we are born. By providing high-quality early education and empowering parents as their child's first and best teachers, we ensure young children in our community have the best possible chance for success in school and in life.
Educare of Omaha, Inc. provides high-quality, full-time, year-round early education for over 650 infants, toddlers and preschoolers at five schools in North and South Omaha. They also serve 24 children and their families with a home visiting program.
Research shows that high-quality early childhood experiences, like those they provide at Educare of Omaha, Inc., can increase the odds for graduation, having a steady job and income, and owning a home.
"Donating baby wipes is a great way to support our organization. With so many little ones in diapers, our five schools use over 225,000 wipes each year! Fragrance-free, sensitive wipes are preferred," says Dawn.
