I received a few free samples of Similac formula in the mail and would hate to throw them out. I would like to be sure they end up in the hands of a mom who could REALLY use them. I have to imagine formula feeding is very expensive. If you know someone, or know where I can go to find moms in need, please reply.

I don't know where you live. If you're near Pontiac, MI, you could donate to the Women & Teens Pregnancy Center on Cesar Chavez. They counsel against abortion, and also have parent training classes for young moms who choose to keep their babies. For attending a certain number of training minutes, the moms can earn 'mom-dollars' which they can 'spend' in the Center's store, which includes donated baby clothing, diapers, etc. Their phone number is ###-###-####.
Congratulations on your new little one,

Yes...I would love to have them. Is is Similac Advance?
FreeCycle it! Freecycle is a way to recycle things that you no longer need and get them in the hands of someone who does. Find your local freecycle group at freecycle.org. I belong to the one in Western Wayne County and have found it very helpful!
You can always get on WIC (Women, Infants and Childrens) It is available to everyone, everywhere. There is no income limit and they also helo with milk, cheese, cereal, baby food, baby juice, tuna , beans, and peas. They also help you maintain a healthy diet for you and baby. And they check for lead and give you resources for other things that you may need. And the best thing is that it is free!!!!!!
I could use it. I had planned on breastfeeding (I'm still trying)but I never had milk come in. I produce about 2 oz a day and I'm giving that to my baby, but unfortunatly I have to supplement and that was an expense we hadn't counted on since I wanted to breastfeed exclusively. I'm willing to pick it up.
