Essential Care,
No Questions Asked.
We're here for all of life's changes—from baby's first diaper to a teen's first period. That means barrier-free access to diapers, wipes, and menstrual products—so every family has what they need, when they need it.

We Care about leaks.
Public assistance programs fail to cover family care essentials that we believe are basic human needs—not luxuries. It's a leak in the system we're determined to catch.
We’ve been able to accomplish some remarkable things since starting in November 2022. We owe it all to our incredible Collective of volunteers, BIPOC and LGBTQIA-led organizations, and donors.

Access is Our Advocacy
Care Collective is aiming for a future where diaper need and period poverty don’t exist in Southwest Michigan—and beyond.
Parents shouldn't have to choose between diapers and other basic needs. Teens shouldn't miss school or risk their health because they lack adequate menstrual supplies.
A Caring Collective
Our partners are local BIPOC and LGBTQIA-led organizations who share our commitment to racial, economic, gender, and social justice—starting at birth.
