I have 11.2 pounds off stinky fuglies sitting boxed up on the table ready to take to the post office today.
Thanks again for this wonderful information. What a privilege... I get to have fun and make soap and learn, and someone else gets to benefit from it in a life changing or potentially lifesaving way. Can't ask for more than that!! |

Ditto what oldragbagger said.
I'm going to gather up some of my failed batches and send them off next week. I hate to rebatch and really don't have the time for it anyway. Plus, this mission has really gotten to my heart. It feels great to do things that really make a difference in this world, even if you cannot experience it firsthand.
Chris

| thank you for this! I have a cousin that travels all the time and gets TONS of hotel soap so I'm asking him to donate as well. I have a box of scraps that I've been planning on rebatching but I'm just going to send it down there. |

I hope this is still active and they accept handcrafted soap, because
I'm loading a box today (stuff I don't feel like re-batching). |

Deda I hope you don't mind but I am blogging about this and posting it on other soap forums. Thank you so much for bringing this wonderful org to my attention. I'm also going to talk to local hotels about sending their soap too!

| Do they accept handmade soap? Does it need to be labeled etc? The website looks as if they only accept commercial type soaps from hotels etc. Love the idea. |

So where do we send our donated soaps? I too have some batches that I would not sell (and that the family is sick and tired of trying to use up). I can fit about 60 bars into a $10 Priority Mail box.

Anyone who isn't from the US able to get through? |
I wrote to these people. Here's the email I got from them:

I believe they will take soap from ANYWHERE and pretty much everything from new to gently used (eeks!) because I get the impression it is all melted down and rebatched with a germicidal added.
Now...let the donations roll! |

Do they take M&P? How does that work when they rebatch? It just gets added into the CP and the commercial?

do they have anything like this in australia? the postage would be prohibitive to send soap to the US, plus the miles travelled would hardly make sense - i'd be better to make a cash donation, iykwim. perhaps what these organisations should do is have a reply paid system of some sort because i'm sure they would get a concession due to their charitable nature.
it's a great idea.

Yes, they will take any kind of soap, CP or MP.

Well I've got my fuglies boxed up and ready to send  Doesn't really worry me sending them half way around the world because I send soap to my Mother all the time over there anyways and it always gets through without a fuss and it's really not that expensive. When you look at what we all have and what we have to give compared to those poor people in Haiti it's really eye opening
