The Community Care Camper was started in 2018 with a goal to provide free herbal services and education to people who are underserved. Currently we work with people who are experiencing homelessness, in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the winter we traveled to the warming centers that are located at different churches each month. Our services included first aid care, helping with colds, and flu, building immune function, and chronic health concerns. We also focus on public health education by educating people on self-care and match people with local resources. Because, the way today’s current political climate is, we are all under served in regards to accessing affordable healthcare. Since 2020 the Community Care Camper has been on hold. With the herb shop space, we hope to do pop up clinic events with the camper.

At the warming centers I can see up to ten people in two hours. Because this takes a lot of resources like; alcohol, glycerin, herbs, bottles, capsules, labels, and over the counter supplies, donations are appreciated. These free clinics are modeled after my teachers Lorna Mauney -Brodek (Atlanta, GA) who runs herbbus.org, and 7song who is the co-founder of the Ithaca Free Clinic, and runs the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine.
