We are deeply grateful to Oklahoma Community Credit Union and P.E.O. Chapter U for their generous support of our Brain Bag initiative. Their commitment to early childhood development is making a real difference for families in our area and inspiring others to join our mission.

At the November ECC board meeting, Oklahoma Community Credit Union awarded us an $800 grant through OK Community Cares, directly funding Brain Bags for newborn families at Stillwater Medical Center. Their partnership helps us reach local families at a crucial moment in their child's development.

In December, P.E.O. Chapter U contributed $1,700, allowing us to expand the Brain Bag program even further. Their dedication to supporting women, children, and education strengthens our community and encourages others to get involved.

Thanks to these generous donations, 100 newborn families will receive Brain Bags this year at Stillwater Medical Center—each filled with a storybook, a toy for baby, a family guide to The Basics, a QR code for free enrollment in the Insights texting service, and helpful resources about childcare and development. These Brain Bags provide families with tools for a healthy and supported start, and we couldn't do it without the ongoing support of our community partners.
