Greater Charleston Ostomy Association
St Francis Hospital

TUESDAY December 11, 2018
NOON til 2:00 PM
Meeting Room #3 Across from the cafeteria
So grab some lunch or bring some, and help us figure out how to be good stewards
IN THE VERY BEST WAY of the DONATIONS OF OSTOMY SUPPLIES
that we receive each year AND how we can support
FRIENDS OF OSTOMATES WORLDWIDE-USA (FOW-USA),
a volunteer-run, non-profit organization in Louisville, KY
which provides ostomy supplies and education resources at
NO COST to OSTOMATES AROUND THE WORLD..
This is a dilemma I have been trying to solve, especially in this past year,
when 3 days in a row, I received phone calls of donations EACH valued at almost $2000 !!
Each time, at the death of an ostomate, no one stopped the auto-delivery
or the ostomate was alone and a neighbor had to step up
and figure out WHERE to donate the supplies.
I have, and some of you who "volunteered" to do a pick-up of a donation,
know how much room that takes up at someone's house to store the supplies
until we can get them distributed.
SO please bring your BRAIN STORMING ABILITY and your check books or cash
(IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE TO FOW-USA) to the
DECEMBER MEETING so we can figure out what makes the most sense for OUR group.
