UKF has been an instrumental part of my path in being a special needs mom. Very helpful with supplies when needed, helps reduce costs for many supplies that otherwise would be just tossed, the support group has been key in sanity as well as advice on how to tackle the next hurdle, events that make our kids feel seen and loved... I'd have been lost these last 9 years without them.
I started out as just another mom in the support group, and loved what they were doing so much that I eventually ended up on the board. And even though I'm now back to just a member, I still speak to others about it in a 'we' frame of mind. And that's the thing, every single member is part of it. We are a 'we', a very amazing team, a whole village for our kids.
They are so helpful with guidance for my kids. They do anything possible to help me find the supplies I need for my tubie kid when finances are tight or insurance is being difficult.
We love this foundation so much and feel very blessed to be a part of it.
Beyond their efforts to distribute supplies to families in need and thus reduce medical waste, UKF has provided a desperately needed network of support for parents of children with disabilities throughout the state.
When I thought there were very few options, I had a different perspective after Utah Kids Foundation stepped in to help me with my special need kid's needs. I'm a disabled Mom of neurodivergent kids. Being able to get help with resources, feedback, and as a kind bonus, help for Christmas, has made things less hectic for my kids and myself.
I am a single Mother of a Marvelous son who deals with non verbal Autism, seizures and severe gut and motility issues. The Utah Kids Foundation has been such a valuable resource for me with advice, support and help. I am so grateful for all they do to help me enrich me and my son's life♡
This is a great non profit, and they have helped me so much. There are many times that I wouldn't have had the supplies to help my son without them.
I love that there are many events throughout the year. We especially appreciate that our blind autistic daughter was able to experience her very first movie at a movie theater. For us as parents it was huge to feel like we were in a judgment free environment
So grateful for all their expertise and advice! The fb group associated with them is so caring, knowledgeable, and kind! We found out how to get lots of help from an event they let us know about.
They didn't have the drunk I wanted to try for my son right away, but they contacted me as soon as they got some, which was a miracle unto itself. They were so kind and easy to work with and really get the struggles.
Amazing to have such quick responses and supplies that I need ready to go when I can't get them any other way!
This charity is run by the most amazing volunteers. They help coordinate supplies all over the state to help families. They're always available to answer questions to families including from insurance, medical, IEP, etc. They have been the best help with navigating life with a child who has a disability. Can't say enough good things about them!!
This nonprofit is amazing! They've come through for us multiple times with medical supplies and equipment when we were having issues with our insurance.
Love this group! My son and I moved to Utah this summer. This group was very supportive when it came to finding a school for my Special Needs son as well as finding a pediatrician. This group is always supportive no matter how big or small a request may seem.
Great resources for special needs families. They do their best to find as many ways as possible to help out any and all.

They have helped our family so much since adoption of 6 kids at once with several with special needs so thankful for them
So blessed to have UKF. They have been such a help and breath of fresh air from finding medical equipment to having families with similar stuggles. Thank you Utah Kids Foundation.
Incredible charity that helps those who cannot access medical supplies due to no insurance, insurance coverage, or not meeting the deductible. They also provide a way to legally give supplies you have that aren’t needed any longer into th hands of people who do need it. Along with that, they also provide a very informative and supportive community online.
I don't even know where to begin! Utah Kids Foundation is a safe place for me, as a parent of a medical fragile child, to learn from and commiserate with other parents with special needs parenting experience. I know I'm not alone in this group. The services they provide are amazing.
I'm so grateful for this organization. It has been a wonderful resource for my family while we navigate the sometimes overwhelming challenge of having a special needs kid. I have been able to get answers and support as well as help with special needs items. I'll be forever grateful for this wonderful organization!

Utah kids is a wonderful nonprofit organization! They have helped out my family so much!

Wonderful resource for families with special needs. They have been a wonderful support to our family in providing needed supplies or contacts to other resources. Thank you UKF!
This foundation is incredible. From empty stocking fund to helping families with much needed medical supplies to the online support group. It’s truly amazing everything that this one foundation gives to families affected by special needs.
Utah kids is great. They've helped it's with some gtube supplies for my son, and the FB group is supportive and helpful for all kids with disabilities. We've also donated supplies, and they're very efficient in getting them to others in need.
Utah kids foundation is amazing. They have helped our family and child out with medical supplies and we thank them so much!
Utah Kids Foundation is a truly wonderful organization. In addition to providing emotional support to families with special needs children, UKF assists families that cannot afford the necessary medical supplies. Things like diapers and specialty formulas to g-tube or trach supplies are generously gifted through their supply exchange program. UKF also helps several families yearly with their Empty Stocking Fund that would otherwise have no Christmas. I cannot say enough good things about this organization. They are truly an asset to the special needs community in Utah.
I am grateful to have a local charity that helps with families that have children with special needs. To see all that they are doing for families during this holiday season has been amazing! I am excited to be able to help give back when so many others have helped us during our difficult times!
Utah Kids has built a wonderful community of people who understand loving and caring for special needs children to support each other. They have and are becoming a huge part of my support system! They also helped me a few months back with diapers and they help tons of people with supplies. A+
I came across Utah Kids Foundation by complete accident, but I'm so thankful to have done so. Some days it's all you have to just make it to the next and knowing you have these other parents and family's who "get it," who completely understand what you're going through....well, it makes a world of difference. I've made new friends and love seeing them at the Utah Kids Foundation events.
THANK YOU, Utah Kids!
I love how helpful and kind those in this foundation are. They offer advice and support without judgement!
