This topic is about a generous offer from someone who is looking to donate unused McKesson ostomy supplies. These supplies belonged to her late husband, and both of them were U.S. veterans. She hopes to give these supplies to veterans in need. Here’s what she has available:

- McKesson 9845 540 ml drainage/ostomy bags
- McKesson 9645 540 ml drainage/ostomy bags
- McKesson M914703 barrier flanges
- McKesson 11503 barrier flanges
- McKesson 14803 barrier flanges

She plans to list more items as she continues to sort through them. All these supplies were purchased by her, and she wishes for them to go to someone who truly needs them, ideally a veteran. Despite reaching out to local sources, she has found it surprisingly challenging to donate these medical supplies.

Here are some helpful suggestions and insights:

1. Consider donating the entire collection to a charity shop that specializes in reselling medical goods. This approach has worked for others who have needed to donate similar items.
2. There is a significant international need for ostomy supplies. Some people have successfully sent surplus supplies to countries like the Philippines, where such items are in short supply.
3. Areas recently affected by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, may have an urgent need for ostomy supplies.
