About Us

I Do (IDO) is a federally recognized nonprofit organization committed to earnestly supporting families who may need our help–particularly those navigating pregnancy, new parenthood, food shortage, and language barriers. Relocating across multiple states allowed us to connect with a range of communities. From Massachusetts to Indiana to Oklahoma and now Illinois, our journey has informed our understanding of regional disparities and strengthened our commitment to offering flexible, community-responsive support, wherever we serve.

We provide mobile-based support that meets people where they are, driving care and resources like food and baby supplies directly into neighborhoods

We started with a simple truth: families shouldn’t have to struggle or feel shame to meet their basic needs. From a single van and a small team with a big mission, we began building a model of community-centered care.

We are not interested in band-aid solutions or feel-good charity. We’re building community infrastructure rooted in equity, trust, and sustained presence. We aim to bring visibility to make sure families aren’t hidden beneath a suffocating system and hope to reinforce our commitment to delivering adaptable, dignity-centered outreach that reflects the needs of the people we stand with.

Why Choose Us?
At IDO, we do missions right. We commit to:

In most US states, lower-income residents pay a higher share of their income in taxes than top earners.

Despite paying lower tax rates, affluent neighborhoods often receive more community resources and investment, as poor neighborhoods are often more profitable for cities in terms of tax revenue vs service costs.

White families have six times the average wealth of Black and Hispanic families.

Public investments favor affluent communities, providing more resources and economic opportunities that become strong predictors of life outcomes.

This creates a self-reinforcing cycle of disadvantages for low-income communities and POC.
