Read Our Story

Hands of Hope Northwest is a Christian, humanitarian, non-profit organization dedicated to helping people locally and globally by providing healthcare supplies and equipment. Our organization works to help those in need daily by:

The Hands of Hope Northwest ministry was conceived in 1992 in Nampa, Idaho when Sharon Griffith, a Mercy Hospital employee, saw medical equipment being thrown away. She realized it could be reused for the benefit of people without adequate healthcare. Sharon’s vision was built on by Liz Murtland, the Founding Executive Director, and a group of volunteers who wanted to make a difference in the lives of others.

MISSION

To improve the quality of life for people with health or mobility issues by redistributing donated medical equipment and supplies to individuals and partnering organizations, domestically and internationally.

VISION

A transformed world in which everyone with health or mobility issues has access to appropriate medical equipment and supplies.

VALUES

Adhere to the Biblical principles of compassion, integrity, excellence, and accountability.
