Some Amicus participants and their families have recently had trouble getting the necessary essentials to ensure they remain healthy and to protect themselves from COVID-19.
We’re encouraging anyone who has capacity to donate excess essential item supplies to donate to the Amicus Donation Drive.
We’re seeking common items and products that have recently been exhausted at nearby supermarkets and chemists.
The donations will be given to Amicus participants and their families, to help them meet the unique challenges they’re facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Where practical, we’ll also be donating supplies to other Victorian organisations that support vulnerable individuals.
Amicus will liaise directly with each Amicus participant regarding their individual needs for collection, or drop off, of items. Similarly, Amicus will liaise with other providers to arrange delivery of supplies for their distribution.
