For anyone who has formula or supplies left over there is a great organization that will help you get it to someone needy. Ive been caught without insurance for the past 6 months and have used them with great success. For example, someone doesnt have insurance, medical supply companies charge $10 per feeding bag. They are free with your formula. This is an exchnge program where the person who needs the supplys send a money order to cover S&H to the person who is donating it. There are also many manufacturers who will give donations of free formula for needy patients. Please IM me for any further info about ither program.
