2025 Annual Report

We made a difference.

What started as a grassroots effort in 2019 has grown into the leading niche nonprofit for donated ostomy supplies in America. Every "Kindred Box" we send represents hope, relief, and the assurance that no one should have to choose between their medical needs and their financial stability.

Donated supplies are at the heart of what we do, and hundreds of gracious supporters gave this year. Funding is equally necessary to keep this mission moving. To our generous grantors and patrons—you make this possible. Your compassion enables us to operate, grow, and reach even more people in need.

To each and every deserving ostomate we serve, it is an honor and a privilege to provide the essential supplies you need to live with dignity. We are in this together!

Ostomy Care

Our motto, More Than A Box, reminds us that we are all in this together.

    “I was having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of living with an ostomy. The kindness you showed me changed my soul, and I won’t forget it for the rest of my life.”

  • Brian in Alabama

    "I lived with my first ostomy for two years. Kindred Box supported me through a time of severe depression because I couldn't afford to buy pouches every month.”

  • Annmarie in New York

    “I’m sending heartfelt thanks for the beautiful card. It brought tears to my eyes reading your caring words and thinking how lucky I am to have found Kindred Box.”
