  I want to donate my extra cosmetic products and hotel toiletries to a women's shelter. Does anyone have an organization in SF they can recommend? At the beginning of quarantine, I cleaned out my enormous stash of never used cosmetics and hotel toiletries that I'd been holding onto with the intention of donating them to a women's shelter. Does anyone happen to have an organization they can recommend? I did some preliminary googling and was a bit overwhelmed by the number of results that were returned and have no idea how to even begin vetting them. Thanks in advance!! edit: Thank you for all the suggestions! It's all really helpful :)

  I haven't found a place here in the Bay Area, but there's a women's charity based in Spokane, Washington that you can mail beauty products to--Project Beauty Share (projectbeautyshare.org). They accept makeup, hair, body, and hygeine products. They'll even take certain open/used products. It all goes to help women in need to get them back on their feet. I recently mailed them a box of eyeshadows, nail polishes, fragrances, and a ton of tampons (since I don't really use those). You'll have to mail donations on your own dime, but they are facing increased demand (esp for hygiene products) and decreased donations at this time, so every bit helps!

  I grab hotel toiletries too and give them to a volunteer in the neighborhood (Potrero Hill) who makes yearly holiday blessings bags with toiletries and other essentials for homeless women. I'm happy to give you her email address to see if she can come by and pick up your stuff! If it doesn't work out, I've already donated to Project Beauty Share like another commenter has mentioned.

  LittleMosca asked:

  What to do with my unwanted makeup purge? Does anyone know of a place to donate unwanted makeup to? Just trying to downsize the collection. I know some things can't be sanitized so I'm not talking about mascaras or the like but other stuff can be easily salvaged just removing the top layer. Nail polish seems fairly low risk too right? The local thrift/goodwill/salvation army will oy accept new, sealed makeup but I'd hate to throw everything in the trash! I'd love to hear any suggestions!
