We have nearly a complete box - two 8.45 fl oz containers are gone due to teaching, other wise there are 22 left. They are vanilla artificially flavored.
We are willing to send this to anyone who needs it if you will PM me. If you would like us to send it to an alternate address for safety purposes, that's fine too.
We just don't want it going to waste when we know there are plenty of people out there struggling.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | Thanks for being so generous, Beth! For the under or un-insured cases of formula can cost hundreds of dollars depending on the type of formula. With so many different kinds out there, if you dont find any takers, you can always contact the Oley Foundation. They run a patient exchange program to connect those in need with the people who have leftovers. The person who needs the item simply mails the sender a check or money order to cover the cost of shipping the item. Ive used them several times myself. Very easy and helps alot of people who really need a hand. The Oley Foundation Exchange Program

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | Anyone in the Indianapolis area that could use some free Isosource 1.5 calorie vanilla 250 ml (8.45 oz) tube feeding formula? It has 375 calories per container with expiration date of March 8, 2016.
Send me a PM or reply to this thread if interested.
