Donation of Supplies
The Donation of Supplies is Key to the Mission of IFL USA
Sharing what you no longer need will save lives.
We are licensed to collect in-date and unused insulin, test strips, as well as other diabetes supplies, for redistribution to healthcare organizations and licensed professionals. All items are provided, free of charge, to healthcare providers who assist children and adults with diabetes who otherwise would go without these life saving medications.
IFL USA firmly believes the SOLUTION to the GLOBAL problem of insulin access is possible; one where people with diabetes, their health care providers, and the industry share supplies, that would otherwise go to waste, with those in need.

How to Pack Your Donation
Donation Packing Guide
Keep insulin refrigerated until shipping the package.
When shipping, use of a frozen reusable gel refrigerant is necessary. The insulin and frozen pack should be placed inside a Styrofoam container, a thermal insulated bag, or insulated lunch box. Most grocery stores carry these insulated shipping items. Many grocery stores and pharmacies also carry gel ice packs.
When the insulin is being sent, the shipping time should be no more than two days. Avoid sending donations containing insulin over the weekend or holidays which will slow the delivery time significantly.
Remember to place your name and address on a paper inside of the package.
Placing your return information inside of the package helps to assure that a receipt acknowledging your tax-deductible donation will successfully be emailed or mailed to the proper address.
Our donor privacy is important, as such we remove all prescription labels upon receipt. By doing so the packaging remains intact while the identity of the donor and related healthcare professionals are protected.
