Dontion of new toiletries/makeup samples

I swear I have read about this on MOL but couldn't find it in the search. I've cleaned out my linen closet and have a bag of small toiletries and makeup samples (I am not meant for Birchbox). Am I mistaken that there are places that collect these? Maybe IHN?

Thanks for any leads.

If anyone has a suggestion, I also have about 20 new toothbrushes and several mini-toothpastes from the dentist's office to donate (kid and adult).

Market Street Mission for the adult stuff.

Maplewood Committee for Servicemen and Women may be interested. They send care packages several times a year to Maplewoodians who are serving in the armed forces.

Bridges Outreach in Summit makes toiletry kits to distribute:

I have a friend who travels to Cuba for work and the locals love and really appreciate these. If you'd like to donate them directly to them I will take them for you and give them to him.

Thanks everyone! Boomie, I will send you a pm, thanks for offering to make them disappear.

Morrow has a youth group traveling to Haiti in a few weeks. I don't know if this is anything they would want. (Probably not the makeup)

our clients at the Interfaith Food Pantry of the Oranges are always happy for these donations (pm me for details), and I'd imagine the food pantry at Our Lady of Sorrows would be happy to have them as well.

I will keep these options in mind for when they pile up again. Thank you all!
