I have donated several times directly to my nutritionist who in turn passes it right along to another patient. I dont think she is really supposed to take it, as I know a few people who the same hospital said they couldnt take it. My nutritionist has so many who cant afford the supplies that she always knows someone who needs it.
Ive also heard of nursing homes might take it or even food banks.
Hopefully your items will find a place where they can be put to good use. Thank you again for your generosity!!!
