It doesnt hurt to ask, maybe you will be able to pick up a few cans or cardboard boxes. Many large companies have programs designed to aid needy patients. Years ago I was able to get 12 cases delivered to my home for no cost simply by asking and my nutritionist filled out a request form. Im sorry but that was over 10 years ago and Im not able to remember which company did the give always. Abbott should be one of the companies that offer cases of their products.
