What The New Way Inc does

Heart to Heart International (HHI) is a 501(c)(3) healthcare nonprofit organization founded in 1994 and headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas. The organization operates five core programs — Access to Medicine, Community Health, Disaster Response, Hygiene Kits, and Laboratory — delivering essential medical aid, diagnostic equipment, and supplies to underserved communities and disaster zones worldwide. Core operational technologies include point-of-care laboratory equipment installed at partner clinics for on-site diagnostic testing (A1c, Strep, Influenza) and a 45-foot WHO EMT Type 1 Mobile-certified mobile medical unit, one of only four such certifications held by U.S. organizations. Supporting physical products include pre-packed Ready Relief Boxes, Healthcare Worker Emergency Response Kits, and standardized hygiene kits.

The organization operates through a volunteer-driven service model and a global network of pharmaceutical corporate donors (Viatris, Teva, Sanofi, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, BD, Abbott, AbbVie Foundation), logistics partners (FedEx, Flexport, Airlink), and field nonprofit partners (Global Brigades, Hope Worldwide, ANERA, International Medical Corps, Floating Doctors, Food For The Poor, Care Beyond the Boulevard). Distribution channels include direct service deployment, international nonprofit partnerships, healthcare facility partnerships, and community health events. All medical services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries.

HHI is funded entirely through donations: individual contributions (including the monthly Responders program), planned giving, corporate partnerships, stock donations, and in-kind pharmaceutical product donations. The organization reports $3.6 billion in delivered aid across 131+ countries, more than 1.1 million cumulative volunteer hours, and active operations across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

Direct peers

• SchoolHouse Connection: National nonprofit addressing education of children and youth experiencing homelessness through direct services, research, and policy. Comparable mission around homeless-student wraparound support and advocacy.
• School on Wheels: Southern California-based nonprofit providing school supplies, tutoring, and housing support for homeless students. Closest direct peer given overlapping geography, student-homelessness focus, and combined pantry/educational support model.
• Beyond Shelter: Los Angeles-area nonprofit providing housing and supportive services to homeless families with children. Direct peer given its family-homelessness housing model in Southern California.
• Family Promise: National nonprofit helping families experiencing homelessness achieve sustainable independence through shelter, prevention, and stabilization programs. Comparable in delivering housing assistance paired with community-based wraparound services.

Broad incumbents

• National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth (NAEHCY): National membership association for educators and service providers working with homeless students. Comparable stakeholder network; relevant for benchmarking and partnership but not a direct service provider.
• National Center for Homeless Education: Federally-funded technical assistance center supporting the implementation of the Education for Homeless Children and Youths program. Operates at policy and TA level rather than direct service but is a key ecosystem actor and potential partner.

Regional players

• PATH (People Assisting the Homeless): San Diego and Southern California nonprofit providing housing and supportive services for people experiencing homelessness. Comparable housing-plus-services model but serves a broader adult population, not specifically students.
• LA Family Housing: Los Angeles County housing and supportive services nonprofit serving families and individuals experiencing homelessness. Comparable housing-stabilization model but at significantly larger scale and broader geography.
• Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry: Local Santa Clarita Valley food pantry addressing food insecurity for low-income residents. Comparable on the pantry side of The New Way's model and a likely referral partner within the same service area.

Others

• School District McKinney-Vento Liaisons: Federally-mandated school district staff responsible for identifying and supporting homeless students. Not a peer organization but the primary referral source and potential contracting partner for services like those The New Way provides.
