Eastside Community Pride Foundation – Uniting Our Eastside Toledo Community

We voted to dissolve the group on September 8, 2022. Covid hit us especially hard over the last few years and we have not been able to hold any fundraisers. We are proud of the good work we did in our community.

Webcasters has offered to host the website and take responsibility for its contents as a tribute to our volunteers and sponsors.

Our Impact

ECPF is making a difference in my hometown (The Nickel)! They are truly making a difference in the lives of kids. It makes me proud of our fellow Waite Alumni who have stepped up and not forgotten where they come from. #payingitforward!

Seeing the hundreds of coats, hats, and gloves given to our students throughout the building from ECPF and their community partners was truly heart-warming. Keep up the great work and thank you for caring about our students on the Eastside.
