🧴 Where to donate hotel toiletries and hygiene items in Ohio
Unused hotel toiletries and other hygiene items are welcome at many shelters, food pantries and hygiene banks. Items like soap, toothpaste and deodorant are always needed and rarely donated.
Before you go
- Only give unused items. Even slightly used toiletries usually can't be accepted.
- Bag liquids in sealed bags so they don't leak.
- Local shelters and food pantries often take toiletries even when they don't list them.
- Toothbrushes, deodorant, razors and pads or tampons are among the most requested items.
29 places in Ohio take hotel toiletries and hygiene items.
