I've got a couple of boxes full of the things, a lot of them unopened, that I've been wondering what to do with. Hadn't thought of donating them but it's a good idea.

I use them at work for similar circumstances, your local A&E will always be grateful of these and any old clothes (sometimes we have to cut clothes off in emergencies and having something they can go home in makes things a lot nicer for the patients.

When we moved to Canada last year (from UK), we had a large moving box of PA pajamas and First Class amenity kits (which my wife wanted to toss). I usually put them out for our guests (sizes ranging from S to L), along with the First amenity kits. The CW ones I donate to a homeless shelter I volunteer at. More than 100 kits donated thus far... thankfully, I do far less flying now, so the rate of accumulation is slowing down :-)

They are acceptable for lots of destinations on Pack For A Purpose.

It's a great way of adding a few bits and pieces for those that really could do with utilising those enormous baggage allowances.

I also grab a spare comb, razor and toothbrush when going through a lounge and used to give them along with hotel toiletries to the local,street wardens Christmas appeal thst would be used for homeless people.
Having however been a guest of the NHS unexpectedly recently this year I will donate them to my local hospital trust for people that need to stay short notice.

@Aatticus - just because CIHY has fallen in a pit, you do not have to jump down one also. I'll give you the benefit of doubt as my hairbrush would doubtless smash on your skull
