Fund the Future: EOCF's Inaugural Garden

GiveMore24! — Empowering Children and Families Through Hands-On Learning

Since 1967, Educational Opportunities for Children & Families (EOCF) has been a trusted source of premier early childhood education and family support in Southwest Washington. Every year, we serve over 1,000 children and families, providing essential programs like Pre-K education, childcare, nutrition, health, dental care, mental wellness, and family services.  

GiveMore24! is an annual day of giving that brings our community together to ensure these programs remain strong and continue to grow. EOCF is more than a classroom, and this event is more than just a fundraiser; it is a movement to empower futures and transform lives.

This year, we are thrilled to invite our community to join us in an exciting new outdoor learning initiative. Located at our Battle Ground Early Learning Center property, this outdoor classroom and garden space will allow scholars, their families, and the community to engage in hands-on learning that connects nature, nutrition, and early childhood education.  

By partnering with us during GiveMore24!, your generosity will directly support our garden with essential resources to thrive. Your investment will fund:  

• Vibrant Growing Spaces: Fully-functioning greenhouses, raised fruit and vegetable beds, and dedicated planting areas.  

• Outdoor Learning Facilities: Sensory activity areas and gathering spaces for physical and imaginative play.  

• Seed-to-Table Experiences: Opportunities for scholars to experience the joy of planting, growing, and harvesting while developing healthy habits and environmental awareness.  

Join us by donating through GiveMore24! and partnering in our mission to connect, empower, and transform the lives of children and families. Early giving officially begins September 8th. Together, we can make an investment that guarantees a healthy return—an investment in the future of our children, our community, and our environment!
