Opportunities From: United Way of Dane County

At Access Community Health Centers, our mission is simple but powerful: Improving Health. Improving Lives. Each year, we serve more than 33,000 patients by providing compassionate medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy care to individuals and families who might otherwise go without. But good health is about more than medical visits—it’s about dignity, comfort, and the chance to thrive.

You can help close the gaps that create disparities in health and opportunity. We are seeking donations of essential items that bring warmth, stability, and hope to those we serve.

Picture and Chapter Books for and teens in multiple languages help nurture learning and literacy in our clinic waiting areas--but our collection is stronger based on your donation to keep our shelves full.   

Diapers and onesies can make a world of difference for our youngest patients. Through our Maternal Child Health services, we provide these essentials to families who need them most.

Bus passes provided by the Patient Services Team offer a lifeline, helping patients reach their important medical appointments and access critical community resources. 

Blankets, sweatshirts, and sweatpants for both adults and children offer warmth through the cold months, while new socks bring small but meaningful comfort and dignity.

Each of these items makes a profound difference. They help restore hope to someone facing difficult circumstances, improve quality of life for families, and remind our patients that their community cares deeply about their well-being.

Together, we can continue to build a healthier, more equitable community—one act of kindness at a time.

To arrange a donation for any of these items, please contact Emilie Schada at Access Community Health Centers, emilie.schada@accesshealthwi.org. 

Thank you.
