Rx Kids is the nation’s first communitywide parent and infant cash prescription program. Rx Kids aims to provide all pregnant people in participating cities with a no-strings-attached cash, reducing financial burdens and empowering parents and guardians with the freedom to make decisions that best fit their families’ needs.

Launched in Flint in January 2024, Rx Kids has expanded this historic, life-changing, community-partnered program with other Michigan communities, including several of ours in Southwest Michigan. Rx Kids cash prescriptions are provided during pregnancy and each month throughout the baby’s first six months, providing financial support during the most economically vulnerable and developmentally important time in a family and child’s life.

Eligible Berrien County residents live in:

  • City of Benton Harbor
  • Benton Charter Township
  • City of Niles
  • City of Buchanan
