After my dad passed away, Mom was left with a lot of prescription drugs of his. They don't expire until 2012. If we take them back to the prescribing facility they'll just be destroyed.
Mom and I have asked around to friends and family to see if anyone we know is prescribed these drugs. Nope.
My eye doctor goes to Mexico with Flying Doctors - maybe they could take them. Nope. They cannot provide follow up, therefore can't use the rx drugs.
Dr. Worrell suggested I try the Indian Health Center of Santa Clara Valley. Nope.
They suggested City Team Ministries. I'm waiting for a call back from them.
We have a lot of older people in our Sons of Norway lodge. I can't exactly go up to them and say "Hey Ole, by the way, your doc hasn't happened to prescribe 20mg of potassium, has he? How about lasix? Can I hook you up with some?"
Sheesh, I'm trying to help someone out here. I know how expensive this stuff is and maybe we could make just a little bit of difference in someone's life. The red tape sure makes it hard to do the right thing.

I'm sure you could find some homeless dude to take all that Vicodin off your hands.

Seriously, though. What about the VA?
I thought about the VA - will call them next week.
