Ostomy Supplies Donation Locations Needed

This topic is about finding ways to donate unused ostomy wafers and bags after someone has had a successful ileostomy reversal. The person no longer needs these supplies and wants to ensure they go to someone who can use them, rather than letting them go to waste. Here are some suggestions for donating these supplies:

1. Local resources:
- Consider donating to a nearby ostomy support group. These groups often help redistribute supplies to people who need them.
- You can also give the supplies to an ostomy or wound-care nurse, who can then pass them on to patients in need.

2. National or online donation programs that accept mailed-in supplies:
- Kindred Box (kindredbox.org)
- OstoGroup (ostogroup.org / ostogroup.org/donations), which is based in Florida
- Friends of Ostomates Worldwide USA (FOWUSA) at fowusa.org
- Ostomy 211 at ostomy211.org

3. Other avenues:
- You can post in dedicated ostomy donation and exchange communities, such as a specific Facebook group for this purpose.
- Sometimes, individual volunteers within the ostomy community, including members of forums, collect and redistribute donated supplies. Reaching out through these forums can connect you with someone who can handle the distribution.
