Where can a family donate urinary catheters?
VeeBee asked:
Where can medical supplies be donated ? Loved one passed away last week in Southern California and there are boxes of new sterile urinary catheters that can’t be returned to the DME supply company. Links or organization or ideas welcome.
Thanks, Doc, the catheters are sealed and in original sealed boxes and packages.

You could ask the Kidney Foundation or a centre for uninsured people’s health, but I’m afraid that catheters, even when new are seen as a rather personal item, are not really sought, and often not welcomed, due to modern society: any possible contamination or pranks.
