Eastside Baby Corner Northshore is looking to expand beyond it’s current location, a move which they believe will help them reach more families.

Eastside Baby Corner Northshore was the result of a merger between Northshore Baby Corner and the larger Eastside Baby Corner.

Baby Corners serve low income and homeless children and families by providing them with food, clothes and other services donated by the community.

The Northshore location has been operating out of the Bothell United Methodist Church for years, but spokeswoman Stephanie Zurn said while they’re grateful to the church, the venue is reaching it’s limits.

“We need to grow. And then the space we’re in, it’s too small to reach the kids we need to reach in the area,” she said.

According to a press release, Eastside Baby Corner Northshore is looking for a location with up to 1,500 square feet, heating, restrooms, cell phone reception and a max rental of $1,000 a month.

The merger between the two Baby Corners allowed the Northshore location to serve 72 new children, move a pickup location for eight providers to a more convenient Bothell location and bring in five new provider partners, according to the release.
