Just wondering...

[Nurse Tanya]

Just wanted to know what you guys do with all the boo coo’s of shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, etc. I got a great supply going on but I feel maybe I should do more with it instead of just watch my collection grow!!!

Donate!

There are quite a few places you can donate. My 2 personal favorites are:

1) My mom's clients - my mom coordinates a work program for people with disabilities, and I give most of my excess to her clients. I like donating there because they don't get as many donations as a lot of other organizations, plus I know that the people have more limited capacity to get things for themselves.

2) A local children's home that helps kids and their families in troubled situations.

If you're looking for other places, many food pantries also take HBA donations. Women's shelters are another place.

A couple times a year, or as opportunities come up, I clear out all but about a years worth of the easy freebies, and donate them.

The things that accumulate too much, I only get if they are free, not just a very good deal.

Donate.

We donate the freebies to an outreach and advocacy group for the homeless.

I donate some and I also make gift bags from my stockpile for Christmas/birthdays.
