A Life Saving Legacy
The James Hollister Wellness Foundation extends its warmest welcome to all. Our mission is to save viable medication from going to waste and make a difference in the lives of individuals across the world who lack easy access to healthcare.
In loving memory of James Hollister (1959-2015)
Save a Pill, Save a Life.
Each year, billions of dollars’ worth of viable, non-expired prescription medication and medical supplies are wasted across the developed world. In the U.S. alone, much of this waste ends up flushed, incinerated, or improperly discarded—contributing to environmental harm and deepening global health disparities.
Meanwhile, hospitals and clinics in developing nations face severe shortages, where even the most basic medications and supplies can mean the difference between life and death.
The James Hollister Wellness Foundation (JHWF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2015 in honor of James Hollister, is changing that. In partnership with Save Inc., we provide innovative, sustainable solutions to the global medication and medical supply crisis—rescuing these critical resources from waste and delivering them into the hands of patients who need them most.
We collect unexpired, unused medications and medical supplies from hospitals, pharmacies, nursing homes, manufacturers, and individuals across the U.S. These donations are distributed—often free of charge—to our trusted medical mission teams operating in Honduras, Ukraine, Mexico, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Guinea, and beyond.
Every item we send is handled by licensed medical professionals, and every shipment directly supports on-the-ground healthcare teams serving vulnerable populations in war zones, remote villages, and underserved clinics.
Join us. Save a pill, save a life.
The James Hollister Wellness Foundation is able to save excess medication from patients AND excess inventory from pharmacies and hospitals from being needlessly wasted.
