othercare: Empowering Communities Through Accessible Care

othercare: Empowering Communities Through Accessible Care

At othercare, we believe that everyone deserves access to essential personal care products that promote dignity, health, and well-being. As a DBA (Doing Business As) of the IRS-registered Naturalena Foundation, we play a vital role in addressing critical needs like period poverty and broader hygiene insecurity. Together with the Houston Lone Star Diaper Bank (HLSDB), we form a unified effort to make a meaningful impact in communities nationwide.

How We Fit Within the Naturalena Foundation

The Naturalena Foundation’s innovative structure allows othercare to thrive as part of a sustainable and impactful mission. By operating alongside HLSDB, we’ve created a collaborative approach that enables us to:

  • Expand Our Reach: Focus on providing high-quality personal care products while HLSDB addresses diaper need for families in need.
  • Ensure Sustainability: A portion of the revenue generated through othercare—5% of every sale—is reinvested into the Foundation to fund programs addressing period poverty, diaper need, and more.
  • Maximize Community Impact: Pooling resources with HLSDB enables us to address multiple dimensions of hygiene insecurity effectively and efficiently.

What We Do at othercare

At our core, othercare is about empowerment. We aim to ensure that no individual has to compromise on basic personal care due to financial hardship. While tackling period poverty remains a key focus, our offerings extend to a wide range of hygiene products designed to meet diverse needs. Through our work, we aim to:

  • Break Stigmas: Challenge the societal taboos surrounding personal care needs and create an open dialogue about hygiene insecurity.
  • Provide Dignity and Relief: Deliver essential products to individuals and families, ensuring everyone can maintain their well-being with confidence.
  • Fund Meaningful Programs: Every purchase at othercare supports the Naturalena Foundation’s charitable initiatives, including HLSDB.

The Impact of Collaboration

Our partnership with HLSDB and the Naturalena Foundation demonstrates the strength of a united mission. While othercare generates revenue and raises awareness for hygiene insecurity, HLSDB focuses on providing essential resources like diapers and wipes to families in need. Together, we:

  • Create Self-Sustaining Solutions: Revenue from othercare directly funds the Foundation’s programs, amplifying our impact.
  • Serve Diverse Needs: Address both personal hygiene and family care essentials in a holistic way.
  • Build Trust and Community Support: Our transparent and collaborative approach inspires confidence in our donors, customers, and volunteers.

Why It Matters

Access to personal care products is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Through othercare, we’re not just providing products; we’re providing hope and a sense of security to those who need it most. By reinvesting in the Foundation, every purchase creates a ripple effect, funding programs that change lives.
