Emergency Infant Services (EIS) is a Tulsa, Oklahoma based nonprofit organization focused on meeting the basic human needs of infants and children under five years old. Emergency Infant Services was founded on January 1, 1977 by Linda Watts in the balcony of the Second Presbyterian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Noticing how unexpected circumstances made it temporarily impossible for families to make ends meet, she decided it was time to lend a helping hand. The goal from the beginning has always been to help prevent families from falling further into a poverty cycle by helping with their immediate needs such as formula, diapers, food, wipes, clothing, and car seats. Currently, over half of the EIS' clients use the services provided only once a year, showing the agency is indeed helping them in a time of extenuating difficult circumstances. It was not until 2012 that EIS recognized it was time to expand its services to a second location and opened a new location on the East Side of Tulsa. By 2017, it was serving 30% of the total number of children being served each year. With that success, it was decided to open a satellite location with diapers and formula with South Tulsa Community Center and a second one with the Dream Center. Combined, those two locations serve nearly 400 children each year. EIS has made it a mission to find partners in the Tulsa community to help support some of the long term services clients need in addition to the short term. The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma provides free immunizations and other health services to families. Along with the Blue Cross Blue Shield, the Oklahoma Health Department and the Parent Child Center have also partnered with EIS to provide additional services to the community at large.
