My passion for serving others began the summer before my freshman year on a missions trip to Mexico where I witnessed families struggling without essential health resources. The following summer, during a missions trip to Hartford, Connecticut, I saw similar challenges—many communities lacked access to basic first aid and hygiene supplies.


As an Emergency Medical Technician, I’ve seen firsthand how hygiene and basic care impact overall health and well-being. These experiences inspired me to take action, leading me to found CareKit Community, an initiative dedicated to providing basic hygiene and first aid supplies to those in need. I believe that through collaboration and community engagement, we can create a healthier, more connected world—one CareKit at a time.

Our mission is to foster hope and improve health by providing essential first aid and hygiene kits to underserved populations. We believe small actions can create significant change, reminding those in need that they are valued. We envision a compassionate network making a lasting impact, ensuring everyone has access to basic health resources and strengthening communities through giving. Together, we aim to build bridges of hope.

CareKit Community began with a simple idea: to support those often overlooked by providing essential health and hygiene supplies. Founded by Nathan Huang, inspired by his mission trips and EMT experiences, he recognized how the lack of basic resources impacts health. We've since dedicated ourselves to bringing hope to those in need. What started as a small effort has evolved into a mission of compassion.
