B Kind Referral

About B Kind

B Kind provides assistance to families/individuals in need with food assistance, and medical and educational needs.

Food Assistance
B Kind will provide a grocery store gift card for a number of months to help keep food on the table. These gift cards generally come from big box store such as Walmart, Kroger, Meijer, etc. because they allow us to purchase gift cards online and provide not only groceries but household items as well.

Medical Assistance
Medical assistance covers a variety of assistance and very much depends on the recipient. B Kind has provided assistance with medical bill pay and co-pays, provided specific medical equipment like leg braces and prosthetic eyes, contributed funds for transportation and accommodation for out-of-state appointments/surgery, and so much more.

Educational Assistance
Educational assistance can range from laptops and tablets for school, desk chairs and desks for at home learning, school uniforms, school supplies, tuition to NF camps and more.

If these specific areas of support do not meet the needs of your referral, we frequently offer food assistance to help offset costs whenever possible. We will work directly with the referred individual or family to ensure they receive the best possible assistance.

B Kind does not provide assistance in the form of cash or checks, and we do not provide reimbursements.
