KidVantage helps kids be safe, nourished, and healthy by providing diapers, formula, car seats, clothing, and more. KidVantage protects and promotes healthy development for kids (through age 12) by collecting, purchasing, and distributing free essentials through a network of human service, educational, or health providers who are working with kids and families. We strengthen families, build resiliency in children, reduce inequities, and create stronger communities with a mission of helping kids reach their full potential tomorrow by meeting basic needs today. Research shows that providing children the right ingredients for healthy development - emphasizing protective factors that can counterbalance the effects of adversity- from the start produces better outcomes than trying to fix problems later. Our strength comes from deep community participation, through volunteering, donating goods and social connections.
