#EndDiaperNeed
Just kind of the biggest thank you to our volunteers who free us up to focus on developing and growing Care Collective. You help us make our own shoes big ones to fill. Does THAT metaphor work?

Jordan and J spent last week at the US Conference on Poverty and Basic Needs, but they weren't the only Michiganders in attendance!

The outside of our warehouse finally looks like someone works there! Heck, there's even a doorbell! Help us continue to make improvements and fill this place with products; make a donation today!

Our new warehouse isn't even remotely done. The Care Collective team has been working at a picnic table for two weeks know, but we finally labelled all of our product bins and set up our tables for our first repackaging event!

For nearly half of U.S. families facing diaper need, the far-reaching consequences impact their mental and physical wellbeing, ability to pay rent or mortgage, and make it hard to purchase other essentials. This week, join us and National Diaper Bank Network in working to #EndDiaperNeed

Diaper need forces families to make tough choices to afford diapers. That’s why we’re proud to join National Diaper Bank Network in the fight to #EndDiaperNeed. As we kick off National Diaper Need Awareness Week, we want you to get involved. nationaldiaperbanknetwork.org

We want to thank Huggies (a Kimberly-Clark brand) for this donation of 145,816 diapers. We also want to thank the @diapernetwork.bsky.social, Loaves and Fishes, and our volunteers. Without them, we would not have been able to accept this donation at all.

A brave group of volunteers stopped by last week to check out our new warehouse and help us clean it up! With most of the dirt swept and scrubbed away, this place is almost looking like home, but there's plenty of work left.

We don't need a special occasion to shout out our amazing board! Many of them have been with us since Care Collective was just an idea in a tattoo studio, but we've welcomed some incredible new members over the years.

We're moving! But not very far. We could use your help getting the place cleaned up, so, if you're willing to get dirty, join us on Tuesday, June 30th.

It's not about how you look! It's about how many diapers are inside of you. Though we would really prefer if none of our pallets fell over.

Gas prices effect everyone. Even if we did switch to delivering via tricycle, we would still feel the strain. By distributing free diapers and period products, we free up space in the budget for rising costs.

You might've met her at OvaryActing, but we'd like to formally introduce you to Rue! If you see the van driving by, give a wave to let Rue know she's an excellent driver.

You can now order Care Collective merch online! We've got two new offerings plus some throwback designs that you can order from our website. Orders must be picked up in-person from our warehouse!

I can explain. We are rapidly outgrowing our warehouse, so we have to get creative. And by creative, I mean bad. We had a whole mess of diapers that had to fit onto one pallet and that WASN'T A PROBLEM until we had to move that pallet. Please don't tattle on me.

We recently crossed 2 million products distributed since Care Collective was started! This is a very exciting landmark, but it was only possible because of you. Aside from our amazing staff over the years, we have a lot of other people to thank.

In order to distribute a million diapers this year, we’re gonna need the help of hundreds of donors, volunteers, and undisclosed government experiments. Visit the link in our bio to learn how you can help!

It was a blast having team members from Bell's Brewery join us last week in a double-header repackaging event! There were surprisingly few IPAs in the mix, but they played some good tunes and got to work repackaging diapers.

Period products and diapers aren't fun, but they do allow kids, caregivers, and menstruators to get back to things that are! You can donate your unused products to give caregivers and menstruators one less thing to worry about.
