Donating Ileostomy Supplies in Tucson, AZ

This topic is about someone in Tucson, Arizona, who wants to donate some ileostomy supplies they no longer need. They have both unopened and partially used boxes of supplies and are looking to give them to anyone who might need them, especially those living nearby. Here’s a bit more detail and some helpful advice for anyone interested in donating or receiving these supplies:

- The supplies available for donation include ConvaTec and Coloplast products, specifically drainable pouches and wafers/barriers.

- If you're local, the Sun City Ostomy Support Group in Arizona is a good place to consider for donations. However, they typically only accept unopened and complete boxes.

- For those looking to reach out to potential recipients, it's suggested to offer the supplies publicly on forums or community boards, as some people may not respond to private messages.

- If you need to ship the supplies, using USPS Priority Mail Flat-Rate boxes is a cost-effective option. These boxes are free at post offices, and the shipping cost is fixed, around $14 or $19.99, no matter the weight. A large flat-rate box can fit an entire supply box. Donors often cover the shipping costs since recipients might not be able to afford them.

- If local options are limited, consider donating to international aid organizations. These groups are often in need of both full and partial boxes of ostomy supplies and are grateful for any contributions. However, be aware that hospital ostomy care units might not accept donations if they have limited storage space.
