Travel size toiletries in bulk?
Wondering if anyone knows where to buy travel size toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, soap) in bulk. Three of my local food banks ran out and would like to help them out.

I don't know how good their case price discount is, but http://www.minimus.biz/Wholesale.aspx may be an option.

Some big stores around me (large upscale grocery stores and large general discount department stores) seem to carry good collections, which I assume they buy through their normal distribution channels.
Can you get some frequent travelers in the Seattle area to donate their unwanted stash of unopened hotel toiletries?

Here's another one,
http://www.traveltoiletrykits.com/wholesale.htm
based in MA, order minimum is $200 vs $250 above. Seems like good prices you can download the pricing guide.
for example
Freshmint® Toothpaste (1.5 oz boxed) 144 for $65.61
Dawnmist Deodorant Soap 0.5 oz travel size bar 1,000 for $92.13

Some items are available in bulk via Amazon (Target stopped stocking my favorite toilet paper travel unit so I bought a case from Amazon...Yes, I'll have travel tp until I die ;-) Not sure the prices would be any cheaper than the sites listed above but might be easier - esp if you have Prime, or you belong to Smile so some of the money goes to your charity.
We quite often have toiletry drives at work - for local shelters or schools etc.

The most important requirement:
The charity must be approved as tax exempt within your country. These include the US Internal Revenue Service as 501(c)(3), and charities registered with the UK Charities Commission or ATO.

Thanks you guys.
I have a charity that is tax exempt. But is this rule "You can begin a thread if you have 180 posts and 180 days on FlyerTalk" strictly enforced?
The guide to what can be posted in there:

Admins, please let me know if this is inappropriate.
I started a crowdfund today to purchase & donate 1000 toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, shampoos for 3 local food banks in the Seattle area. The idea came from reading FlyerTalk too much. The goal is $650 and the funds leftover would be used to purchase canned goods. I put in $100 to start it off and it already reached $375 on the 1st day. Any chance that a FTer could post a link for me?
