Donating Surplus Ostomy Supplies After New FDA Ruling

This topic is about finding ways to donate surplus ostomy supplies after new FDA restrictions have made it difficult for some places, like hospitals, to accept them. If you have extra supplies and want to help others, here are some suggestions:

1. The American Cancer Society (ACS) can be a good place to donate your unused ostomy supplies. It's worth reaching out to your local ACS office to see if they can accept your donation.

2. Osto Group is another option. They accept donated ostomy supplies, even if they are slightly out-of-date, as long as it's reasonable. They help uninsured or financially struggling patients by redistributing these supplies. The recipients only need to cover the shipping costs. You can find more information on their website at http://www.ostogroup.org/.
