Description:
This will be a place to go for moms who have formula they haven't used, opened, or tampered with it. Some Dr. Offices give a brand that they don't use, they got samples and never used it, or bought a multi pack before switching to milk. Regardless of the reason, if it is not expired and unopened, they will be collected and shipped to countries who have a famine. There is nothing worse than watching kids die because they don't have access to food. Let's help these kids out and collect unused formula. This would be a not-for-profit, and I plan on mailing free USPS flat rate shipping boxes to those who sign up. This way, there is no out of pocket to the mother. I need an initial capital to start the website, pay for shipping, and advertise on FB or wherever would drive the most traffic. I've looked everywhere online to ship my unused, unexpired formula but could not find ANYTHING. The domain is available as well. I know that there are a lot of women who end up in this situation. And babies have different systems, so they can't always give their formula to a friend. Chances are, their kid is on something different. I recently overheard 2 separate conversations of women asking if anyone knows what they can do with their unused, unopened, unexpired formula. Let's feed the kids that need to be fed. And that is kids with no access to government help, and no access to food in any form.
