Our Butt Basket Program provides comfort, care, and practical support for individuals navigating IBD-related and treatment. Whether someone is heading to an infusion appointment or adjusting to life post-op, these kits are designed to help GWGs feel a little more prepared, supported, and less alone during some of the hardest parts of their journey.

 The program runs in twice-annual “drops” – one during Ostomy Awareness Month and one around World IBD Day – helping to not only structure distribution of kits, but also amplify awareness and visibility around IBD and ostomy experiences during key moments in the year.

Be sure to keep an eye on our social channels or sign up for our newsletter for updates on when applications open!

Post-Op Care Packs

Our Post-Op Care Packs are designed to keep your supplies organized on-the-go so you never have to worry about an emergency accident or leak again! Many of our members keep these in their car for post-surgery accidents. You can fit a bag change or a spare change of clothes inside!

  • You can only apply once and for ONE of the options.
  • If you are applying for a Post-Op Care Pack, the surgery you are having must be within 30-60 days before or after your application.
