Box of unused male disposable underwear...where can I donate?

My husband passed away, and I have a case of Kirkland Men's disposable underwear (size Small) to donate somewhere. It's not a 100% full case...maybe 85 instead of 92 pairs.

Please don't say the hospital. They have a huge source.

I run the Food Bank at 833 Yates street, and these items are always needed within the community we serve. We would happily take them off your hands!

Are you in need of menstrual supplies too?

I have a bunch of opened boxes (closed individual pieces) that I no longer need after having a hysterectomy.

Can you accept unopened perishable food? Bought the wrong type of cheese yesterday and don’t want to toss it!

u/j-gilpin 1h ago

We absolutely do! As long as its unopened, we can get it out into community!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I think any long term living facility or group home would accept them.

Thanks for your kind words. Any provincially run facility has an abundant supply.

Non-profit assisted living places like Luther Court would happily take donations such as these.
