This topic is about finding ways to donate unused ostomy supplies after someone has had their ostomy reversed. If you have extra supplies like ostomy bags, tapes, sprays, paste, and other accessories, here are some practical suggestions to help you pass them on to those who need them:

1. Reach out to a local ostomy nurse or a wound/ostomy clinic. Many cities have free clinics or support-group meetings that accept donations to distribute to their patients.

2. Contact the patient-education office at your local hospital. Hospital newsletters often list support groups, including those for ostomy patients, that would appreciate donations.

3. Consider mailing your supplies to Kindred Box, a U.S. nonprofit organization that helps distribute ostomy products to uninsured and under-insured individuals in need. You can find more information at www.kindredbox.org.

4. Another option is Ostomy 2-1-1, a program dedicated to accepting and redistributing ostomy supplies. Visit www.ostomy211.org for details.

5. Use the United Ostomy Associations of America’s “Donating Ostomy Supplies” page. It provides a directory of clinics, Red Cross offices, and support groups that accept donations. Check it out at https://www.ostomy.org/donate-ostomy-supplies/.

6. Post your available items on ostomy forums or community boards. Some members might be looking for specific products.

7. If donation options are limited, you can list unopened boxes on eBay or other resale sites as a last resort.
