I am searching and searching, but cannot seem to find a place in the Long Island, New York area, where I can donate new and unopened ostomy supplies. I know that the supplies tend to be expensive, particularly for people with limited or no insurance, and I am determined not to discard them. Can anyone give me any assistance as to how/where I can donate them?

Check out: Ostomy Association of New York. I believe their number is 212-864-1968. Good luck.

Happy New Year to all! One of the best things that happened in 2024 was finding this site. I get advice, support, humor from y’all. Great to be a part of such a kind and caring group.

Thanks for your help... I left a message on their answering machine and hopefully they will return my call with some information.

In addition to your pouching system, you may require the use of an ostomy accessory to enhance the performance of your system.

The second link brings you to a program that Convatec and Hollister have where they pay you for your unused and unexpired supplies.
By the way, I grew up in Smithtown!

I am in much need of supplies. I can pay the shipping if you'd be willing to send them to me?

What do you need? I have extra stuff that didn't work for me but might for you.

Hi there. I need lubricating deodorant, barrier strips, bags that are 1 3/4 or any 2-piece or 1-piece system.
