History
Emergency Infant Services IS began 39 years ago when a task force recognized an unmet need in the Tulsa community. They saw families with sustained poverty could receive long-term assistance, but families with short-term, immediate needs had few options to receive help. They founded EIS to meet that need. Our guiding principal is to provide immediate, compassionate aid with minimal obstacles to infants and children under age six whose parents are unable to provide for them.
Specialties
Emergency Infant Services is a non-profit organization assisting over 17,000 infants and toddlers each year with basic needs items such as diapers, baby formula, and food. Funded through the generosity of the community, staff and volunteers work together to make sure that infants and toddlers have the essentials they need. We have no waiting periods or income qualifiers, operating on the theory that a hungry child cannot wait.
