About us

A legacy of lifting others up

A nonprofit senior moving company serving seniors 60+, shaped by family and built in honor of a grandmother who gave everything she had. Based in Idaho, built to grow.

Our mission

No one should face a life changing move alone

Summit Pathways Foundation honors seniors by moving their homes, histories, and hearts gently into the next chapter, so each one feels valued and never alone.

Our vision: a country where every senior 60+ can step into their next chapter with a gentle, specialized move, feeling cared for, with assistance for those who qualify. We started at home in Idaho, and we’re built to grow.

Our story

Dedicated to Anna Phillips

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.

What Grandma Phillips taught us

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 their next 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

A nonprofit moving service, built for seniors 60+

Pathways leads every move

Summit Pathways Foundation is the senior moving service: our trained crews, working with trusted local moving partners, plan, pack, move, and set up each home.

Led by volunteers

Our board members serve as volunteers, so more of every gift can go to moves.

Care for seniors 60+

We serve seniors 60+, from a family home to an assisted living suite. Standard quote moves and gifts from donors also fund assistance for seniors who qualify.

For senior veterans

Thank you for your service

Ask about our Senior Veterans Fund, for veterans 60+. Gifts given specifically for veterans help cover moves for senior veterans 60+.

Our board

Led by local business owners

A four member volunteer board. No one is paid to serve.
