Basic Needs Miami Inc

In less than a year, Basic Needs Miami has grown from a vision into a community lifeline, partnering with local schools,  churches, and our neighborhood Optimist Club to serve hundreds of children, teachers, and families across South Dade.

We’ve built partnerships with the Miami Diaper Bank and PERIOD.ORG , and other local supporters and organizations expanding our reach to include baby and period products alongside food, school supplies, and emergency relief.

And we’ve done it all without administrative funding, powered entirely by volunteers, small donations, and strong community partnerships that put heart first.

Every Basics Bag we deliver, every teacher we support, and every family we serve reflects one simple truth:

When basic needs are met, families can thrive, learn, and grow.

A Message from Our Founder

“This first year has reminded me what’s possible when a community comes together for one another.

We started with little more than faith, determination, and a few willing hands  yet together, we’ve helped hundreds of families get through the week.

Basic Needs Miami is proof that small acts, done with love and consistency, build strong communities.

Thank you for believing in this work and helping us keep dignity and care at the heart of everything we do.”

Here for good!

Robin Oxford-Davis, Founder & CEO
