East Biloxi Community Collaborative (EBCC) was founded in 2012 as an organization that offers residents and community-based groups a platform to develop and implement change strategies to improve the lives of children and families in East Biloxi. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) identified East Biloxi as one of three Mississippi communities implementing place-based strategies that meaningfully address economic security, health and well-being, and education. As EBCC matured, it developed strategies and corresponding activities to address the immediate needs of East Biloxi residents, including working as a convener of stakeholders and advocates to better leverage resources that foster more equitable solutions. EBCC will host a Racial Healing Circle luncheon on January 21, 2025 to explore and appreciate racial equity.
