I have about 5 unopened boxes of ostomy supplies bc I was sent too much every month by my insurance company...much more than I needed. Is it donatable if the individual boxes of supplies have never been opened? Would hate to throw it all away.

Are you a caregiver for a child with an ostomy? In the summer months, this can become more challenging, thanks to heat, humidity, water activities, and travel plans.

Your local hospital should accept donations too. I donate extra medical supplies to my surgeon.

If you have a local ostomy support group, they will usually gladly take donations.

Before donating to a support group please check and find out if they have a donation closet. Otherwise they may not have a place to store them.
Your best bet is to send them to Friends of Ostomates Worldwide. Or even call your supplier and see if they will take them back.
