Ostomy supplies are daily medical necessities but to some, the ongoing expense can create financial stress or medical debt. Our programs help ostomates in adverse situations.
-
We provide free medical supplies to ostomates in need residing in the United States, as well as national support groups who serve their local ostomy community.
-
We assist ostomates who need long-term assistance. Some recipients contribute nominal handling fees and discounted postage when applicable.
-
Shipping ostomy supplies can be expensive. Learn more about our postage program and what items are acceptable to send by mail.
Setbacks rarely have a single cause. When an ostomate faces an unexpected crisis, life becomes challenging. We offer assistance by providing donated ostomy supplies.
-
2,700+ have requested assistance with ostomy supplies since 2019
-
~75% of applicants live below the U.S. Federal poverty guidelines
-
The #1 reason for help is that ostomy supplies are unaffordable

“I want to thank you for helping me. No part of having an ileostomy has been easy. The medical supplier hasn't called me back. I have skin issues. I'm changing the bag so much and can't afford these supplies. I don't know how I would've managed without help from Kindred Box.”
Every time you donate, someone receives help.
Our programs are limited by available resources and may be discontinued or changed at anytime.
