About us
Summit Pathways Foundation is a Nampa based nonprofit senior moving service for the whole Treasure Valley, built in honor of a grandmother who gave everything she had.
Our mission
Summit Pathways Foundation helps Treasure Valley seniors move safely and with dignity, so no one has to face a life changing move alone.
Our vision: a Treasure Valley where every senior can step into their next chapter feeling cared for, and where cost is never the reason someone goes without help.
It’s their home and their story. They lead.
We pack every box like it’s Grandma’s.
Plain prices, plain words, and real numbers.
Neighbors, businesses, and volunteers lifting together.
Our story
June 29, 1924, January 5, 2017
Benjamin Phillips started Summit Pathways Foundation in honor of his grandmother, Anna Phillips. To our family she was Grandma Phillips. She never had much money, but she gave everything she had. Her kitchen table was where people came for a home cooked meal and left with something more: encouragement, good advice, and the sure knowledge that they were loved.
She had moxie, that mix of courage and grit, paired with a soft heart and a deep devotion to family. She taught us that real wealth isn’t counted in things. It’s measured by how much of yourself you give to other people.
The greatest gift you can give is to lift others up when they need it most.
That lesson is the heart of Summit Pathways. A move late in life means leaving more than a house. It means leaving the kitchen table. When we help a senior pack up a lifetime of memories and settle into a new home, we’re doing what she would have done: showing up, rolling up our sleeves, and making sure no one goes through a hard change alone.
Every move we make is a small way of saying thank you to her.
How Pathways works
Summit Pathways Foundation is the senior moving service: our team plans, packs, moves, and sets up each home.
Summit Solutions backs up moves with crews and equipment at a reduced, below market rate. Alpine Premier Services helps get homes ready and supports the foundation.
Full quote moves and gifts from donors fund full or shared cost moves for seniors with limited income.
We take conflicts of interest seriously. See how on our Accountability page.
