WHAT WE DO

A Prescription for Health, Hope, and Opportunity

No-strings-attached love.

Rx Kids is a beacon of hope, strengthening family economic security and improving health.

As the nation’s first-ever citywide prenatal and infant cash prescription program, Rx Kids is providing life-changing financial security that is universal and unconditional. Moms receive $1,500 during pregnancy, and babies receive $500 a month for a designated length of time that varies between 6 – 12 months. The program is expanding into other Michigan communities with momentum to shape the lives of thousands of families locally, regionally, and nationally.
