Hello readers. I was volunteering yesterday in a non-profit booth at the Governor's Conference for Women in Long Beach, CA and an elderly lady asked us if we took donations (which we don't). She has 200 cans of Jevity from her recently deceased husband's diet, she was pretty sad that she has no use for it and cannot find someone to give it to. Anyone know of someone near Long Beach who would like it? Please PM me and I will give you my e mail.

We have used oley.org to donate and exchange medical equiptment / supplies. From this organization Steve got 6 cases of glucerna and all he paid for was the shipping. We have also been given misc supplies that we cannot use and his oncology clinic takes them and passes them on to others that need them. The clinic, Texas Oncology, gave Steve a whole case of Caposol mouth rinse that would of cost us hundreds of dollars. Hope this helps those in need to donate or receive..

I brought mine to a local Cancer Center. They were going to give it out to patients that needed it.

Great info everyone. I have left over stuff as well and my surgeon was not able to take it. We never checked with the RO. Now that I am in a different town things might be different. Hate to waste good product when I know there are people out there that can use it.
