I have finally cleaned out my bathrooms and have a lot of unused health and beauty supplies. I threw away what was expired and would like to give away or donate the rest. I've looked on the web to see if some organizations might take them, but most only list food or other household items as needed. Any ideas?
Have you checked with domestic violence shelters or foster care agencies??
check with SafeHome(women/child shelter) in Olathe- they take full size I believe! You have to call to set up a drop time-- they also take business type clothes, kids clothes- they always have a 'wish' list on their site-- it's women who have left an abusive home and ususally only have the clothes they are wearing sometimes a small bag, but it's a wonderful organization!
I think you are looking for homeless shelters and shelters for abused women. I moved here too recently to give you names, but those are the types of places that accepted toiletries in Phoenix.
However, the toiletries had to be unopened - sanitation and safety concerns. You can probably just toss anything you've already opened.
It's nice of you to do this!
The Ronald McDonald House always needs things like that. You should give them a call.
You could try SafeHome or the Rose Brooks Center. They are shelters for battered women.
