The published rules for donated medicine

If you wish to donate medicine, please remember our “ABC’s”. We can only receive pharmaceuticals that:

  • (a) Come directly from a manufacturer or licensed distributor.

  • (c) Are unopened.

We ask that gift-in-kind donors take the responsibility to coordinate the shipment of the goods they wish to donate to a World Opportunities distribution center.

Please offer all donated goods in a clean, usable condition. World Opportunities may elect, at its sole discretion, to refuse a donation, regardless of the condition, type, quantity, or usefulness of the goods. This helps us best manage our available resources.
