Would they accept medicines like Aspirin? :I
ReplyDeleteI made a donation run yesterday to get rid of my HBA items. The staff of the (church) pantry which I give to, gives it to a nearby woman shelter. Now a few years back, I walked three times into a Dierbergs with a full milk crate of HBA items and proceed to fill the barrel.
ReplyDeleteHi coupon.girl - I'm not sure. I called the number on the collection bag and had to leave a message. If I hear back from them I'll let you know what they say.
ReplyDeleteCoupon.girl - Girl Scouts just called me back. Yes, they will take over the counter pain relief, allergy and cold medicine. Packages must me unopened for them to use them.
ReplyDeleteJeri - thanks for the info about pain and cold meds. I have some I've been wanting to donate but wasnt sure if they'd take them.
ReplyDeleteHi CJ - I'm glad coupon.girl asked the question. I've always wondered where to donate them too and didn't even think about April Showers until coupon.girl asked.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info! I have alot of the bayer asprin crystals left ;) and tons of toothpaste.
ReplyDeleteGreat to know about the medicines! I've got some I stocked up for the winter but we never used (I don't medicate unless we're really bad!) so I'd love to pass them on.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the info. :)
