Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition
Lower Keys
All Other Requests
The Coalition offers support to families in need by providing, when available, baby essential items to those who cannot otherwise afford to obtain them. Specific items typically available and guidance for requests may be found below.
Formula is periodically donated to the Coalition to allow us to help families in need. We cannot control the types/brands that we receive (please note, infants should not be abruptly changed from one brand and/or type of formula to another without discussion with your pediatrician). In those cases where an infant has been prescribed a specialty formula to address a medical need, a specific client request may be submitted. The Coalition will make every effort to assist families in obtaining the specialty formula when there is a need for assistance, based upon availability of funding.
Pack n' Plays/Play Yards may be provided new or gently used, depending on availability, to assist in providing a safe location for an infant to sleep. A $25 donation, considerably less than the cost to purchase these items, is suggested, and a parent or legal guardian must be present to review and sign the required paperwork.
Strollers may be provided new or gently used when available with a suggested donation of $25. A parent or legal guardian must be present to complete the necessary paperwork when receiving the item.
All other baby essentials, such as clothing, bibs, swaddles, etc., are distributed new and gently used, depending on current availability. We cannot guarantee any item is always available.
***If you need any of these items, please try to include them at the same time as your diaper request to help us streamline deliveries.**
