The Story of MedWish
Founded in 1993, MedWish International is a nonprofit organization that saves lives and the environment by repurposing surplus medical supplies and equipment to provide humanitarian aid to people in need.
Our Approach
In 2023, MedWish diverted more than 800,000 lbs. of medical surplus from landfills and distributed over 497,000 lbs. of supplies and equipment. These efforts impacted over 1.4 million people across the world.
Get Involved
The large-scale effort MedWish undertakes to deliver urgently needed medical equipment and supplies is built on an infrastructure of incredible supporters: health care systems, logistics partners, volunteers, and stakeholders.

Antonine Village is an adult daycare facility in North Jackson, Ohio, and a new Local Giving partner with MedWish International. Since February, we have fulfilled three orders for a total of 3,000 pounds. To top it all off, the most recent order picked up this April was our 300th Local Giving order of the year!
We have provided everything from PPE, adult diapers and other hygiene supplies, walkers, medicine cups, and so much more. Access to these items, through MedWish, allows them to provide quality care for the adults whom they serve.
