Humble and Kind is committed to helping people in their time of need. We recognize that families face unfortunate circumstances all the time. Some families are trying to break the cycle of poverty, some families face extreme circumstances that dramatically affect their life, but yet all families need support sometimes. Humble and Kind is designed to give families a boost over a mountain of challenges, buy a family some time before long-term support is established, or fill in the gaps of established support.
Newborn Booster Bags- We partner with community health agencies to provide Newborn Booster Bags to new parents who may feel unprepared to bring home a new baby. Local social workers connect with families and provide these bags to those of greatest need. These bags contain baby clothing, diapers, wipes, burp cloths, hats, and additional information about H&K. The bags are intended to provide the family time until additional support comes in. This support may come from the family's support system, another agency, or Humble & Kind appointments
Dignity Days- Through monthly support appointments, we provide families with basic dignity essentials they may need. Items provided may include clothing, hygiene products, feminine products, laundry soap, baby essentials, and items of the like. Families can receive support from us monthly until independent living can be achieved or otherwise released from support into long-term support agencies.
Emergency Meal Assistance- We have emergency meal packs available to provide to families of greatest need. These meals only require water and one pot in order to be prepared. A prepared bag can feed a family of six. These bags are discreet and can be added to backpack programs or added to other supports.
We are not designed to be long term support. However, we do exist to fill immediate needs and also fill gaps while families are on waitlists or need help while in between jobs.
