Who We Are
Medical Pantry is a small innovative Victorian charity that is solving healthcare’s contribution to climate change and global issues of healthcare inequality.
In 2021, we rescued and donated 15,000 tonnes of medical supplies (approx. $200 million worth) from our first warehouse in Yarraville.
Who We Help
Humanitarian Aid
Medical Pantry delivers essential healthcare supplies to underserved communities, reducing waste and bridging critical health gaps through impactful, sustainable redistribution.
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!
