This topic is about finding a good home for unused, new drainable ostomy bags instead of simply discarding them. If you have some of these supplies and are looking to donate them, here are some helpful suggestions:

1. Friends of Ostomates World-Wide (FOW-USA) is a great option for donating any new ostomy supplies. They have a website at www.fowusa.org, and you can mail your supplies to their address at 4018 Bishop Lane, Louisville, KY 40218-4539, USA. Many people have successfully sent their unused supplies to FOW-USA, especially after switching to different products.

2. Consider reaching out to ostomy nurses, as they often collect unused supplies to help patients who may not have sufficient insurance coverage or financial resources.

3. If you are in the UK, you can donate to the Jacob’s Well Appeal, which accepts ostomy supplies. You may need to cover postage if you mail them. Their address is The Jacob’s Well Appeal, 2 Ladygate, Beverley, East Yorkshire, HU17 8BH, England. They are a registered charity with the number 515235.

4. Local IA (Ileostomy & Internal Pouch Association) groups in the UK also accept supplies. They can distribute them to those in need, often without requiring you to pay for postage.
