I have a bunch of diapers that my infant has grown out of and formula that she can no longer eat. I would hate for these things to go to waste. Im sure there is someone out there in need of them. Anyone know a charity or organization that I can contact that would gladly take them?

I don't know what kind of other responses you have gotten, but there are Alpha Teen pregnancy centers all over the state...see if there is one by you and that would be a great place to donate everything!

Your local food pantry or women's shelter would appreciate these items. Also, check with various religious organizations--they usually know of families that could use baby goods.The Howell Food Pantry's number is ###-###-####.

Hi D.,
I donated all of our "leftovers" to a local shelter. I see you live in NY so I don't know what is near you. When I called to ask if they would accept these items they were thrilled. They said they rarely get enough baby items. As long as the formula isn't outdated I'm sure a local shelter or church would gladly accept those items. You may just have to call around to find a local shelter or church. Good luck with your little one!

Try Freecycle.org, you can post what you have and whoever in your area needs it will contact you to pick it up. For safety, I just put the items on my front porch in a bag with the person's name on it. I don't know where you live but they are in almost every area of New Jersey.

If the formula is open or expired, try an animal shelter. They can use it to feed the baby animals. And kitten and dog formula is very expensive. If it's unopened, call a local church. Lots of them have, or can get you in contact with, a food pantry. The diapers, try a woman's shelter. Any large town/city has a woman's shelter. Call your local police departmant (do not call 9-1-1, you never know some stupid people have been doing that alot lately. But of course if McDonalds is out of McNuggets then by all means) and ask them to give you a reference. The shelter may take the formula as well.

Hello, I'm a counselor at Information Technology HS in Queens NY. I'm using a program call Real Care. This program teaches students about the responsiblities of taking care or a baby. In addition, they learn how having a baby effects their life and everyone around them. This is a wonderful program and the children enjoy it. We have few supplies for the Real Care babies. The babies are the size of a 5 month old. We need diapers and baby clothes. We would greatly appreciate your help. ____@____.com

I've noticed that you have a lot of good responses for unopened packages of diapers, if you have any that are from open packages though, check with a local horse stable. When we have a few left over of a size we give them to my SIL who uses them on the horses (legs I believe). I don't really know the exact use, but I know that she said they were the perfect shape. Just a thought so you're not throwing them out.

Hey D.,
There may be more noble causes such as shelters, but not knowing about them, I can recommend to you freecycle.com. It has local chapters all over the country, and you just sign up to yours. You post what you have and usually leave it to the recipient to pick up. I see baby things like this all the time. It's a great place to surrender all kinds of unwanted stuff, and you'd be surprised how much that you find worthless others find a treasure! You might also find things you'd like yourself....:)
Cheers

Try your local food bank. They'll have to still be wrapped/sealed probably, but that's what I did when my daughter outgrew those things. The food bank took the diapers too.

Call your local food bank. Some of the ladies in my networking group donate to the morris county shelter. I don't have the number, but I'm sure if you call the county they may be able to point you in the right directions. Also, try the Salvation Army, they have a corp in Dover, NJ

Thanking you for your generousity.

Hi D.,
Your local women's shelter would gladly take unopened packages of diapers and cans of formula. I always donated the "freebie" formula I'd end up with there since I never used formula and they were happy to have it.
