In order to carry on our tradition of excellence, we need your help. Your contributions will aid us in providing affordable and high-quality Child Care, School Age, and Middle School Programs, developing new initiatives for older youth, offering nutritious food to low-income families, and increasing services for seniors.

Gifts of Stock
A gift of stock or appreciated securities provides support to East End House at the same time providing you a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the gift. In addition, no capital gains tax would be due, which would not be the case if you sold the stock on the open market and then donated the revenue to East End House.
