When I'm out getting stuff for my own stockpile, I often go ahead and buy some things that are free with the intention of being able to donate them to charity.
A family at church asked for donations for a family that they knew from Africa that had just recently moved to the Kansas City area. They needed some help getting started with some of the basics. I was more than happy to donate a lot of my freebies to them!
I went through my stockpile and was able to donate the following:
| 2 packages of diapers |
| 9 children's bar soaps |
| 2 packages of baby wipes |
| 2 bottles of baby wash |
| More feminine supplies than I care to list…. |
| 1 bottle of baby lotion |
| 2 women's razors |
| 3 bottles of shaving gel |
| 6 bottles of shampoo/conditioner |
| 4 bottles of body wash |
| 3 deodorants |
| 2 bottles of lotion |
| 1 bottle of hand sanitizer |
| 9 toothbrushes |
| 9 tubes of toothpaste |
| 1 dental floss |
| 2 children's mouth washes |
| 1 bottle of Children's Tylenol |
| 3 packages of Band-Aids |
| 2 bottles of Excedrin |
| 1 bottle of Robitussin cough medicine |
| 1 Lysol Freshmatic |
| 1 box of Q-Tips |
| 8 bars of soap |
| 1 spray bottle multi-purpose cleaner |
| 2 bottles odor neutralizer |
| 1 bottle salad dressing |
| 2 packages of Easy Mac |
| 2 jars of Peanut Butter |
| 1 package of Russel Stover Chocolates |
| 1 can of soup |
I love that I can save money for our family and help someone else out at the same time!
