Support. Empower. Repeat.

Care Collective is a grassroots initiative in NJ dedicated to restoring dignity and hope for individuals experiencing homelessness by providing essential resources like hygiene kits, clothing, tents, food, water, sleeping bags, and rehab services. We believe that real change starts with compassion, and we're building it together—one person at a time.

OUR MISSION

At Care Collective, we believe no one should go without the basics. Our mission is to meet urgent needs—hygiene, clothing, and shelter—for individuals experiencing homelessness.

  • Price:
    All of our care kits and services are completely free to those in need, made possible through generous donations and community support.

    Value:
    Each kit is packed with high-quality essentials—hygiene products, clean clothing, tents, and sleeping bags—chosen to restore dignity, comfort, and hope.

    Length of Service:
    We provide both one-time support and recurring outreach in high-need areas, ensuring continued care, not just a quick fix.

    Why It’s Unique:
    What sets us apart is our speed and personalization. We respond fast, adapt to changing needs, and deliver with heart. Every item is chosen with purpose, and every person is treated with respect.

  • Price:
    Rehab can cost thousands—money most people in crisis do not have. We will offer full and partial scholarships to cover the cost of trusted drug rehabilitation programs, so that money is not the barrier to recovery.

    Value:
    Our support goes beyond funding. We help individuals find the right program for their needs—detox, inpatient, outpatient, or counseling—and walk alongside them through the process.

    Length of Service:
    Most programs range from 30 to 90 days, but our involvement doesn’t stop at placement. We stay connected through aftercare referrals and community reintegration resources to help ensure lasting success.

    Why It’s Unique:
    We will connect individuals with rehab options within weeks, not months. Our approach is human-first, locally connected, and grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a second chance, no matter their past.
