Unused Ostomy Supplies Available for Donation

This topic is about finding a good home for unused ostomy supplies. The person who started the conversation has a collection of supplies they no longer need due to receiving incorrect shipments. They want to donate these items to ensure they are put to good use. Here’s a list of what they have available:

- 3 boxes of Convatec flanges, Ref #421458, with 10 flanges in each box
- 6 boxes of SafenSimple skin barrier film wipes
- 1 box of Hollister New Image 2-piece convex barriers, #14905, with 5 barriers in the box
- 2 quart-size zipper bags filled with pouches that fit the Hollister #14905 barriers (these are unused but not in their original boxes)
- 2 boxes of Adapt Stoma Powder

They are looking for suggestions on where to donate these supplies. Here are some helpful ideas:

1. Donate to established organizations:
- Ostomy211.org is a great place to donate ostomy supplies.
- The United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA) has a national donation page where you can find more information: https://www.ostomy.org/donate-ostomy-supplies/

2. Check local resources:
- Consider giving the supplies to an ostomy or stoma nurse. Many nurses can pass them on to patients who need them or to local support groups. For example, there’s a group in Massachusetts that was mentioned.

3. Offer directly to community members:
- There’s a forum user named “Queen83” who is currently looking for supplies and might find this collection very helpful.
