In Iowa there is an organization where you can donate medications: https://safenetrx.org/ I have not checked this organization out.

I would bet that many states have similar organizations you can find. Check them out carefully before you donate so you know that your meds are being used appropriately.

Hi Shelley. Perhaps you might make a connection with another member on this site or ask around others in your Community. Maybe your local grocery store (still) has a "Want Ad" board? 🤔 Or look for an online site for "paying it forward". Unfortunately, there is no official channel for donating medications from individuals in your State. See here:

Your desire to be a blessing to others is commendable though. Be well.
