Donate Today

 
We are a 100% volunteer-run organisation. Our major expense is warehouse leasing (85%), followed by transport (7%), insurance (4%) and utilities (3%). For every $1 invested, we are able to donate $350+ of medical supplies. Your donation can help us:
 
  • Expand our warehousing footprint in Victoria to accommodate containers onsite.
  • Install more efficient storage space with tall pallet shelving and forklifts.
  • Engage more hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies to save more supplies.
  • Expand the program to NSW.
 
Our vision is to accelerate toward a zero environmental, equitable and sustainable health ecosystem. To achieve this vision, we need your help! Donate and help us spread the word!
