Redistribute Medical Supplies

“The surplus from our health system could be used to heal patients and help physicians
in the poorest, most desperate parts of the world. The problem is gathering it together
and getting it to where it’s needed.” In the United States each year, fully functional
medical items valued at more than $200 million are directed to landfills or incinerators.
At the same time, over 1.2 billion people in the world live on $1 a day. Hundreds of
millions suffer from chronic hunger and a severe lack of medical supplies.

The Goal

A volunteer labor force collects, inventories, and stages donated items in a storage facility, after which they are distributed to our healthcare operations both locally and abroad.

At iHelp we try to find the most sustainable, green, and efficient ways to accomplish our mission. There is no reason why usable items should pollute the earth in a landfill when they could save a life elsewhere. To help address this, we strive to redistribute medical supplies from hospitals and facilities in the United States to underserved areas around the world. We help you re-purpose your used or overstocked medical supplies and prevent additional waste in our
landfills.

Durable Equipment

iHelp accepts a wide range of durable equipment including, wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, EKG machines, defibrillators, Ultrasounds and other larger medical grade equipment. To donate such items, please speak with staff via phone or email (above) to discuss. Staff may request that you email a photo of the equipment in question prior to donating Items with broken/missing parts. Several items that are frequently requested rarely come through our doors as donations.

You can help us fill this critical gap by purchasing items directly from our marketplace “wishlist” list.
