Important Notes
If you are donating a large quantity of supplies or equipment and would like a donation receipt, please provide an itemized list. For smaller donations or just a few items, no itemized list is necessary. Hands of Hope Northwest cannot assign a monetary value to your donation, but we are happy to issue a receipt for tax purposes.
If you are representing a local hospital, clinic, business, or other professional organization looking to make a donation of a number of large items, please call our office at (208) 461-1473 to coordinate a pickup. Please note that we cannot pick up donations from private residences, but community members are welcome to drop off donations at our warehouse.

The list below is not exhaustive, so if you don’t see your item, please call us at (208) 461-1473 to confirm whether we can accept it.

We CANNOT accept the following items. Please see our Other Local Resources page for a list of other organizations that may be able to accept some of these items.
What happens to donated items?
Donated items are collected throughout the week, then sorted by our volunteers during volunteering hours. Our volunteers clean and repair medical equipment before it enters our Local Loan Program or goes into storage for the next international shipment. Smaller medical supplies are further sorted by category and expiration date, then counted and boxed for international medical aid shipments. To learn more about our charitable initiatives or to become a volunteer, explore the links below.
