MedWish Medwork' Local and Domestic Giving Program aims to connect vulnerable populations in need of medical supplies with the vast inventory MedWish Medworks maintains in its warehouse, through vetted agencies that help individuals with medical necessities, working together to promote their improved health and increased quality of life.
HOW WILL THE PROGRAM WORK?
Through its Local & Domestic Giving Program, MedWish Medworks will partner with local health and human service organizations/agencies to match its inventory with the needs of the community. Through this application process, MedWish Medworks will accept requests for supplies. MedWish Medworks will then review the request, match its inventory to the identified need, and organize a pick-up. Supplies can be picked up by either the referring non-profit organization or the recipient once an appointment has been established with the coordinator of Local & Domestic Programs. Due to their nature, certain medical devices can only be distributed directly to the sponsor organization to ensure proper training and usage.
The program is open to all eligible social agencies and non-profit organizations who act as a sponsor to verify the medical and financial needs of the recipients, as we aim to provide supplies and equipment to those who cannot obtain them through insurance or afford them otherwise. At this time, the original fee for service for this program has been covered by our generous donors. This is subject to change at any time and will be communicated to you in the event that a fee is reinstated. Shipping costs will not be covered and will be the responsibility of the recipient.
ELIGIBILITY:
For an organization/agency to be considered to receive donations (as part of MedWish Medworks' Local & Domestic Program), they must:
- Be a U.S. social service agency or not for profit organization.
- Must not use donated surplus for sale or as a means for profit. The recipient organization must distribute the donated supplies directly to the recipient(s)/individual(s). If reinstated, the fee for service charged by MedWish is not allowed to be passed on to the recipient(s)/individuals.
- Must provide timely and detailed feedback once donations are received (i.e. pictures, narrative) that can be used for program management review, grant reporting, on our social media posts, or other publications.
- Must demonstrate a commitment to serving all people regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
