MHM is Here for you...
Supporting Families in Sarasota and Manatee Counties since 1990
We provide free basic essentials, vital support, and community resources to families in need with custody of children under 18 or proof of pregnancy.
Families can schedule an appointment (up to 60 days in advance of due date) to become clients and shop at our free store every four months to find essential items for their households. Our store offers gently used clothing for all ages, baby supplies, diapers, formula, shoes, household items, kitchen and bath essentials, toys, books, and seasonal decorations—all at no cost to help families stretch their budgets.
Appointments fill up quickly, so be sure to book in advance.
Clients also benefit from additional services through our MHM CARES program, which provides coaching to help families move from survive to thrive.
Other offerings include group support in our Coffee Connections Lounge, special events such as Toy Day, and in times of crisis financial aid, along with many other programs to help families build stability, resiliency and self-sufficiency
