How you can help
If you are wondering how you can help others in your community who are doing it tough due to the impact of COVID-19, here is some information you might find useful.
If you'd like to donate
There are many community organisations in the Yarra Ranges that are dedicated to help people in times of need.
Please look at the list of organisations on our Community Support and Relief page and use their contact details to ask them what they need. Their needs might change week to week but are likely to include:
- Money
- Food (eg. non-perishable, food for pets)
- Toiletries
- Sanitary items
Please check with the organisation first to ensure your generosity is put to good use.
