MedWish's Local and Domestic Giving Program aims to connect vulnerable populations in need of medical supplies with the vast inventory MedWish 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 and Domestic Giving Program, MedWish 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 will accept requests for supplies. MedWish will then review the request, match its inventory to the identified need, and organize a pick-up.
The program is open to all eligible social agencies and non-profit organizations. 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’s Local and Domestic Program), they must:
- Be a U.S. not for profit organization.
- Setup an appointment with a MedWish representative.
- 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). 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.
- Must demonstrate a commitment to serving all people regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
