#ostomates
Our mission is to help underserved ostomates access the essential supplies they need. We’ve collected over 350,000 donated ostomy supplies, keeping usable medical products out of landfills and putting them in the hands of people who otherwise couldn't afford them.

Some ostomates say carnivore diets may reduce blockage risk and pouch volume, but evidence is limited. For ileostomates, dehydration/electrolyte loss and high-output risk are concerns; tough meat can cause blockage if poorly chewed. Consult your doctor.

When Kindred Box began in 2019, our mission was simple: to help underprivileged ostomates and reduce medical waste. In just a few years, we’ve grown into the leading national nonprofit that distributes donated ostomy supplies in the United States.

It is both our privilege and our shared purpose to help underprivileged ostomates live with dignity, access adequate supplies, and feel supported, because that’s what we would want if we were in their situation.

The best advice you get doesn't come from brochures. It comes from fellow ostomates who've already walked this path. That's why your ostomy community means so much.

The first trip after ostomy surgery begins long before you leave home. The more stories I read from fellow ostomates, the more possibilities I saw. Little by little, "What if I can't?" became "Maybe I can." That's how confidence grows.
