Thanks for your generous offer!!!

Over the years we have posted supplies many times and nobody ever took advantage of what was being offered. The OCF office does not have the room to store anything. I suggest looking into the Oley Foundation's patient exchange program. They match needy patients to people who have supplies they need.

If you have formula, please tell us what kind it is. There are hundreds of prescription formulas available. Also, please list the expiration dates on formula cases. Note what size bags (if yo have any) and please list any equipment note you have as well.

Thank you!!!


PS... Other resources that may take your supplies.... some treatment facilities have nutritionists that take left over formulas for their needy patients who cant afford the formula. You can also try calling local food banks, nursing homes, senior centers, etc.
